If so, it's not a warning, and it could have been relegated to the documents/user manual. Instead, it was wired (a thin wire) with other huge warnings about safety. Had to use a wire cutter to cut off the wire without destroying the cooker itself.
Some it is to protect themselves from liability, other things are by law (Prop 65).
