Hope fully the URL below works. The address will take you to Amazon.com and a product they are selling, Harry Potter’s broom the Nimbus 2000. When the page appears read all the reviews for that product in order.
Don’t buy one for your daughters, they will never learn the whistle!!!

And, the one review “And, my 17 year old daughter likes it too!”
Uhm…mom? News flash…

I don’t understand why they only gave it one star for ‘educational’ 
Children grow up so fast these days.
This would seem to be an abominable product . . . this vibrator for children.
I’m waiting for the first parent to try to sue the company when their kiddie jumps out of a third floor window on one of these.
The trend of people doing incredibly stupid things and then trying to sue other people for their own idiocy is damaging society.
And sorry, my American buddies, but it has come to Britain from America; though we like Peanut Butter Cups and Julia Roberts, this blame culture is hideous.
Now can anyone tell me how to get this Sindt Bb out of my left nostril? It kind of smarts? They should include a warning…

The only way in which I disagree with this is the use of the word “damaging.”
I think a very strong case could be made that our society came “pre-damaged,” and recent years are just the natural maturation of seeds planted long before any of us were around.
Although some things do get better; yet for the most part these things are merely the return of very very old ways of looking at things–everything tends to swing in cycles.
And yet, in stark contrast to this, it is a wonderful time to be alive!!!
My best to all,

hmmmm. A warning label…you may have a point there (so to speak). Do let me know if you would like to pursue litigation in this matter…

Dear Sir:
I am at a loss how to respond, since it seems clear that you are not, in fact, serious. It is a settled and time honored foundation of American jurisprudence that manufacturers have a duty to clearly label their products against every obvious, conceivable, improbably and inconceivable harmful eventuality that may be proximately caused by the use or misuse of the product, and failure by the manufacturer to do so entitles the harmed used to sue the manufacturer, obtain an insanely large judgment and retire to Tahiti while the manufacturer passes on the cost of the judgment on to the other consumers, who then eagerly seek their own causes of action.
To challenge this system is quite UnAmerican of you, and makes me think suspiciously of your motives…have any of your neighbors turned into newts lately? Perhaps we should start an inquisition, good sir.

You know, that’s the one word I changed! I Originally put destroying, but thought that too strong on reading through.
An example of the way I think it is damaging, or continuing the crumbling of society..
A decade ago if someone fell ill in the street, or fainted or had a fit, passers by would stop and help. That is human nature (I hope). I am a trained first aider, and have been warned during courses that if you attempt to help someone, and they do not recover fully, they may attempt to sue you for exaccerbating their injury. So I am now wary of offering help in case of legal action against me.
So my initial consideration when seeing someone in need of help might now be “Could I get sued?” rather than “How can I help?”
An other, more immediate example. Within the last month my next door neighbour went missing. Several of us in the street chatted about him, and even called the Police to look. They suggested breaking the door in, but pointed out that he might sue us for damages if he was just away on holiday. So we decided to do nothing (always the easiest thing to do).
Two weeks later, they finally broke the door in to find him dead in an upstairs room. If we had broken in earlier, maybe, just maybe, his life might have been saved, though I actually think he had been dead for a week even then.
So again, for fear of legal repercussions, we chose not to get involved.
Damaging to society, QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM
It looks like the same model that my ex drives.
This reminds me of the warning on a champagne bottle - “when loosening cork, point away from face”.
Yes, I drink a lot of champagne, ever since I won a court case over the misuse of jelly beans. I have almost full airflow back in both nostrils now, no thanks to the manufacturers who failed to warn me that jelly beans should not be taken nasally.
Now where did I put that chainsaw…
Buzzzzzzzzzz…Aaaargh!
Ka-ching!
Ever since I ate those cheesy puffs…
