If you drink shampoo, you are a moron who doesn't deserve a cash reward for it, you deserve to get sick and possibly die. Period.

I really think that you should cite a source as to exactly which case you are speaking about. Because, once you filter out of the propaganda created by those who endorse tort reforms in the protection of corporations, I think you'll find that there are generally no "frivolous" lawsuits that are ever successful, almost by their very definition.

I favor the same qualifications it takes to adopt... but then, I think there are WAAAAYYYY too many people in the world and we need to trim down the numbers substantially.

Removing warning labels is a good start, in my opinon. If you're not smart enough to figure out shampoo is not to be used internally (for example), you don't need to be polluting the gene pool with your genes.

Removing warning labels is incredibly stupid Idea how many substances do you own that you know are toxic, acidic, bio-hazardous, carcinogenic, explosive, flammable, etc without looking at the label.

And not a one of them is in food, drink, or medicine. Shampoo, soap, and industrial solvents (among other things) are not among those, and thus are not consumed as such by a person of any intelligence. If you're not smart enough to figure out the difference between 'edible' and 'inedible' on your own, do we really need you to breed?

So you use an unlabeled cleaning agent and inhale some of the fumes without knowing, and then you become sick for a week due to the product being toxic would that make you an idiot?

Whyfor do I have a sudden desire to stab someone?

Did something stupid just get said? I can't remember the last few seconds, it's like my mind is trying to block it.

Something doesn't have to be consumed to be dangerous.

Also, if a child or other incompetent person does get hold of it and harm themselves or another with it, having the labeling gives anyone else vital information about its ingredients, effects, immediate aid instructions (induce vomiting or not, for example), etc.

To add:

Many modern cleaning agents also list chemicals that you should not mix together. A common one is ammonia and bleach. Were it not for the warning labels, I suspect chlorine gas would be one of the leading causes of workplace accidents. Not everyone is a chemist, and not everyone would immediately know the composition of many cleaning agents, either.

Also I don't think ingesting shampoo is harmful either in fact I would imagine some of it's quite tasty actually it certainly smells nice.
