I happen to agree, but the problem with improper product labelling is you are often denied knowledge. Because we live in a day where we have abject idiots running around who don't know very much, the labels on things have gotten dumber and dumberer to protect products companies from silly lawsuits.
Of course, labels have also been used to avoid liability in sleazy ways to. McDonalds responded to its coffee suit by putting "CAUTION - HOT" on its cup. Well, no shit it's hot, we all knew that. The law suit was SUPPOSED to teach them to not serve the stuff so friggin' hot. Instead, they just slapped a label on it and kept running business as normal.

TL don't fall into the trap thinking I said, the Tabacco Companies aren't responsibile for their actions. Everybody is responsibile for their actions, remember the law of un-intended consequences is a respector of no one.
