Danger, Will Robinson. Danger!
A few years ago at my last job, we had a customer return a keyboard. He wanted one that wouldn't cause "Repeated Motion Stress Disorders" --a.k.a Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. We explained that he should have found a slip of paper in his keyboard box explaining the risk and where to find information on reducing it.

He said his last keyboard was safer as it had no warning and he would rather use that so we took back his new keyboard and refunded him two bucks.

I remember that people warned Tucker that if he put seatbelts in his cars, people would think they were unsafe.
