One of the subreddit's moderators told Bored Panda they would describe it as "light-hearted."

"Dangerous staircase designs are by far our biggest collection of content, so much so that I've had to make a rule so they can only be posted once per week," the person who chose to remain anonymous said.

"Being a non-specific image subreddit, I wouldn't say there's much of a 'community' in the traditional sense," they explained. "However, there are plenty of users who are dedicated to helping me and the other mods manage this subreddit and keep it of a higher quality than most subreddits with over 100K subscribers."

According to the law firm Carr & Carr, many products can be dangerous if the consumers dismiss their warnings and use the items incorrectly. Just consider the cleaning products available at your grocery store or the power tools you use for lawn maintenance.

"[But] when it comes to product liability lawsuits in which consumers seek compensation for harm caused by a particular product, one of the key factors is proving whether the product in question is unreasonably dangerous," Carr & Carr write on their website.

"Since there's no way to anticipate every way in which a consumer might interact with a product, it’s impossible to design and manufacture a product that is entirely free from risk. However, consumers have a right to expect that a given product is safe when used as directed for its intended purpose," Carr & Carr explain.

An unreasonably dangerous product is one that poses greater risks than an ordinary user might reasonably expect when using the product as intended. "This definition makes a distinction between products that are dangerous—such as drain cleaners or chainsaws—and those that pose threats beyond their intended purpose."

"In general, drain cleaners and chainsaws are not unreasonably dangerous because most come with detailed instructions for the proper use and warnings about their risks. The unreasonable danger in product liability cases is characterized by a flaw in the product's design, manufacture or marketing," Carr & Carr note.

So which of these pictures do you think feature unreasonably dangerous designs? Upvote them and let's see!

In my village we have the opposite, an actual roundabout being just some red circle in the middle of a crossroad, the ONLY thing we see it the sign before, and actually everytime you have more than one car everyone freeze, some know it's a roundabout, but we worry other people won't and will just go. Very confusing...

4points

Marlowe Fitzpatrik 3 years ago

got one of those here, too. it's because if there's a lorry, they can't make the circle so they have to make certain the big trucks can just go across. But yes, it's a bit confusing if you don't know about it.

Lactose Intolerance

Final score:

POST

Kira Okah 3 years ago (edited)

FFS, this one AGAIN? "Non-dairy" is NOT a regulated term and can be slapped on anything. This stuff is made for people with lactose intolerance, and there is no lactose in it. It does however contain caesin, clearly stated, which comes from milk. Caesin is a milk protein - it will not make lactose intolerant people sick but it will make milk protein allergy sufferers sick. Because "non-dairy" is not regulated, it is advised that people with or who care for someone with a milk allergy to avoid anything labelled "non-dairy". This label is not illegal, and as that is a problem then that needs to be brought up with the guv to regulate the label. This is the creamer version of having "natural" on artificial products - it's not regulated.
