Yesterday we bought a tray for our baby’s high chair. It came with a small instructions leaflet with the same text in multiple languages. They all seem to have more or less the same information content, but there were some differences. Here is the beginning of the text in each language.
UK

WARNINGS
If you do not follow these warnings, your child could suffer from serious injuries.
One response to “Cultural differences”
So basically European countries congratulate you on your choice and purchase and US starts of warning you about the product you just bought, go figure… US attorneys at work.
