The problem is this is the first generation to grow up with warnings about swallowing cutlery and bathing in battery acid.
If you're bombarded with stupid warnings you get into the habit of tuning them all out. I once worked on a military base where every door and wall was festooned with warnings and prohibitions. Don't do this, don't do that. No running. No walking on the grass. No talking about classified information. Warning: wet floors are slippery. Etc, etc.
A few years after I started there about 98% of the warnings were removed. They'd done some research and realized nobody was going to read that blizzard of signs, particularly when the most obvious ones were prohibitions against things only morons would do anyway. It worked, too - you notice a big red sign when it's the only one on the door.
