It’s cardboard, not depleted uranium. How the fuck is it so dangerous I must dispose of it if damaged? The entire point of the product is for the furry psychopath that lives with me to damage it. It literally has no other reason to exist.
Drop and run
I remember a summer about 10 years ago, when I went out at the beginning of summer to buy some new pool noodles. I looked everywhere, and couldn’t find them, all summer.
The next year, they were back, but they all had new tags that said “Not to be inserted rectally.”
Suddenly, I knew why they hadn’t been available, as lawsuits and regulatory issues got worked out. All because someone looked at a pool noodle, and got a weird idea.
So you put it in your butt right?
Or a friends butt. Get permission first though
Maybe after they permission, they convinced the friend to do ass to ass. Like that movie.
Choking hazard, next.
Clearly, you do not understand THE POWER of corrugated cardboard!
That Spanish translation is awful
Hey can you give a better Spanish translation? I’m a beginner at learning Spanish and was reading the Spanish version in the picture and going “oh I see, so this is how you say this.”
“No permita niños que juegen con o cerca de este articulo.” Is pretty jumbled up. “No permita que los niños jueguen con este artículo ni cerca de él.” would be more correct. The way it’s written is like “Don’t allow kids that play with or near this article”, and “juegen” is spelled incorrectly
“Este producto se diseña para un específico y un uso previsto” - “se diseña” makes it sound like it designed itself? It should be “está diseñado”. Also they’re missing something to go with “específico”, probably “propósito específico”/“specific purpose” as is it just reads “for a specific” which makes no sense.
“Esto no se piensa para el uso como paso.” Sounds like “This is not thought of for use as a step”, but step in this case meaning like a footstep (action) not a stair step (noun). It should be something more like “No está diseñado para ser usado como escalón”
Lastly “animal favorito”… It would mean exactly what it does in English. My favorite animal is the dolphin. Pet, however, should be “mascota”. And also why only the favorite? So if one of my cats is my favorite animal then I should only let my other cats play with it? Lol.
Disclaimer: not a native Spanish speaker, just a self taught learner of several years.
Do not allow children who play with or near this object! Don’t fucking do it!
I came to the comments explicitly to complain about it lmao.
Your favorite pet only 😂
The whole “discard if damaged” is likely just standard cover-your-ass legalese which the lawyers will copy-paste on every single product they sell, including this one.
It’s this.
Lawyers: put the warnings on everything. Managers: what warnings? Lawyers: the warnings. Managers: yeah but Lawyers: on everything.
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
The dangers of corrugated cardboard are unknown to most, it’s good they’re trying to spread awereness
We should do a fun run to raise money for victims of corrugated cardboard abuse.
-in the arms of the angles plays-
the angles
I’ve always wanted to be held by a kind gentle right angle.
God I hate what the iPhone keyboard has become.
Gets damage, kid uses it as a stool, falls, parents decide to blame the company.
Pretty run of the mill situation tbh.
Only in America.
You only hear about the ridiculous lawsuits. Local lawyer used to explain it on the radio all the time.
- Media doesn’t report on the 99.98% of boring, and meritorious, lawsuits
- Judges toss frivolous cases
- Lawyers are loath to bring frivolous cases due to reputational harm, even disbarment
Our sense of risk is absurdly out of whack with reality.
I presumed that since they mentioned a lawsuit.
True. Everyone knows other countries have no laws! /s
We do have laws! Just no suits. Everyone is naked here.
It’s an Ex-Mas miracle!
These things actually only degrade as your cat uses them in America. Elsewhere the cardboard doesn’t mix with hair and fall off into little cardboard chunks that are attractive for small children to eat. Also, the structural integrity actually only gets stronger in other parts of the world, so you’re actually encouraged to step on it, as after some play and what might seem like structural damage to a piece of cardboard, it can actually support the weight of a fully grown adult.
Doesn’t it?
The small pieces the cat rips out fill the holes and make the structure stronger, until the cat can’t use it anymore, because it’s too strong for its claws
Then we use it as bricks for our housesHaven’t you seen the cardboard quarries full of cats working their ass off?
Edit: on a second thought, that’s also why de-clawing is unethical here, because it hinders our never ending demand on bricks…
Honestly my issue with the way the US handles these things is that if wealth was distributed more equitably and fluidly we wouldn’t need to be half as litigious.
If getting your car damaged didn’t mean your only transportation to and from work being nonfunctional in a way that would require several months worth of wages from that job to fix, you wouldn’t need to focus as much on who specifically changed lanes wrong, you’d just fix it. And if you could just go to the doctor and get care, and easily take time off work to heal, a little bit of muscle tension would be easy to catch, treat, and heal up from well before the possibility of lifelong and career ending injuries came into question.
If we were able to have the resources and time to just handle most small things, we wouldn’t have to be constantly holding every individual working class individual personally liable for which direction they sneeze in. Litigation could be saved for serious and repeat offenders. But no, squeezing every last dime out of the working class is a feature, not a bug.
Ok, I’ll bite. So no warning labels? I understand that this is being interpreted as a result of litigation. If there’s not a warning label on a car seat or crib for your newborn… Honestly, why would I need to make sure there aren’t blankets in the crib or that the mattress isn’t too close to my space heater? If the mattress catches on fire or my child suffocates because they’re too small to rotate onto their back but their airway was obstructed by the comfy furry blankets I put into their crib - look, I just wanted them to be comfortable!
I may have lost my baby, but there’s no point in suing anyone. I should have known better! There were no warning labels. I’ll just sleep it off - a life lost, but nobody to blame. It’s chill, all good!
sounds like liability cover
It’s because for the corpo, it’s cheaper to say it might hurt you than to not say anything at all.
My kayak has this warning on it. When everything warns you it causes cancer people no longer take the warnings seriously. Now where did my Cobalt 60 lollipop go.
Maybe your cat is dumb, rips a chunk out, decides to eat it, cat could get sick or catch fire or something
If your pussy has a burning sensation, I highly doubt it was cardboard that did that.
“nom” 😼
“MEOW?!?” on fire🙀
The do not use as a step thing I could see, trying to think of other misuses though, other than eating shit you shouldn’t.
This is only meant for the 300 million Americans, not for the rest of the planet
That was the bridge to Tarabithia 😢
