I disagree. Some devices like lawn-mowers, table-saws, snow-blowers and chainsaws are inherently dangerous by necessity, because of their intended function. I don't know how (or whether) one needs to design a lawn-mower or a chainsaw to be "idiot proof". When used properly with due care and

These are not necessarily problems due to the fryer itself. Instead, the problems are due to the behavior of the user. As with lawnmowers and table saws, the fryer can be (and probably should be) designed to thwart any behavior shortcomings. Rich > -Original Message- > From: emc-p.
