It’s cardboard, not depleted uranium. How the fuck is it so dangerous I must dispose of it if damaged? The entire point of the product is for the furry psychopath that lives with me to damage it. It literally has no other reason to exist.
take this item but beware it comes with a terrible curse
It makes it sound like some cursed item. Get the SCP on this.
The whole “discard if damaged” is likely just standard cover-your-ass legalese which the lawyers will copy-paste on every single product they sell, including this one.
It’s this.
Lawyers: put the warnings on everything.
Managers: what warnings?
Lawyers: the warnings.
Managers: yeah but
Lawyers: on everything.
WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
I remember a summer about 10 years ago, when I went out at the beginning of summer to buy some new pool noodles. I looked everywhere, and couldn’t find them, all summer.
The next year, they were back, but they all had new tags that said “Not to be inserted rectally.”
Suddenly, I knew why they hadn’t been available, as lawsuits and regulatory issues got worked out. All because someone looked at a pool noodle, and got a weird idea.
So you put it in your butt right?
Or a friends butt. Get permission first though
Gets damage, kid uses it as a stool, falls, parents decide to blame the company.
Pretty run of the mill situation tbh.
Only in America.
You only hear about the ridiculous lawsuits. Local lawyer used to explain it on the radio all the time.
Our sense of risk is absurdly out of whack with reality.
I presumed that since they mentioned a lawsuit.
These things actually only degrade as your cat uses them in America. Elsewhere the cardboard doesn’t mix with hair and fall off into little cardboard chunks that are attractive for small children to eat. Also, the structural integrity actually only gets stronger in other parts of the world, so you’re actually encouraged to step on it, as after some play and what might seem like structural damage to a piece of cardboard, it can actually support the weight of a fully grown adult.
Clearly, you do not understand THE POWER of corrugated cardboard!
Darth Vader from Wish?
The dangers of corrugated cardboard are unknown to most, it’s good they’re trying to spread awereness
We should do a fun run to raise money for victims of corrugated cardboard abuse.

That Spanish translation is awful
Your favorite pet only 😂
Hey can you give a better Spanish translation? I’m a beginner at learning Spanish and was reading the Spanish version in the picture and going “oh I see, so this is how you say this.”
“No permita niños que juegen con cerca de este articulo.” Is pretty jumbled up. “No permita que los niños jueguen con este artículo ni cerca de él.” would be more correct. The way it’s written is like “Don’t allow kids that play with or near this article”, and “juegen” is spelled incorrectly
“Este producto se diseña para un específico y un uso previsto” - “se diseña” makes it sound like it designed itself? It should be “está diseñado”. Also they’re missing something to go with “específico”, probably “propósito específico”/“specific purpose” as is it just reads “for a specific” which makes no sense.
“Esto no se piensa para el uso como paso.” Sounds like “This is not thought of for use as a step”, but step in this case meaning like a footstep (action) not a stair step (noun). It should be something more like “No está diseñado para ser usado como escalón”
Lastly “animal favorito”… It would mean exactly what it does in English. My favorite animal is the dolphin. Pet, however, should be “mascota”. And also why only the favorite? So if one of my cats is my favorite animal then I should only let my other cats play with it? Lol.
Disclaimer: not a native Spanish speaker, just a self taught learner of several years.
Children who play with or near of this article are not being permitted!
I came to the comments explicitly to complain about it lmao.
Chocking hazard, next.
Drop and run
Maybe your cat is dumb, rips a chunk out, decides to eat it, cat could get sick or catch fire or something
If your pussy has a burning sensation, I highly doubt it was cardboard that did that.
“nom” 😼
“MEOW?!?” on fire🙀
sounds like liability cover
My kayak has this warning on it. When everything warns you it causes cancer people no longer take the warnings seriously. Now where did my Cobalt 60 lollipop go.
I’ve seen this warning on a t-shirt. Not on the label of the t-shirt, the actual design of the t-shirt. Which presumably also constitutes a warning, I bet the lawyers love that one.
This is only meant for the 300 million Americans, not for the rest of the planet
That was the bridge to Tarabithia 😢

It’s for cats to scratch. It’s supposed to be damaged.
