Even with flashlights there are things you must be careful about, but this time I believe it has gone to far:
If anybody is in doubt, see #3 second part.

What? Some of them get hot enough to burn the poop out of you! Real blister potential especially in some of the incans.
Unfortunately this is what happens in a sue happy society! Someone looking for a free ride probably filed a lawsuit against SF and this is what happens. Kinda like the warning on coffee at Md's. So Sad!!
McDonald's made coffee hotter than normal because consultants told them hotter tasted better, without regard to safety. They served coffee at 180 degrees, which can easily cause bad liquid burns - most restaurants keep served liquids below the 140-degree mark for safety. At this temperature, third-degree burns will happen in seconds if the liquid is held against skin.
After several incidents of people being burned with no corrective action taken, an elderly lady was severely burned. With any major burn to the body, or any burn to the face, hands, or genitals, you need hospital attention. She sued for hospital bills and the jury awarded punitive damages, although this was replaced by a secret agreement. These days I think they keep their coffee at a safer temperature, so the warning is unnecessary now.
It's easy to say that "silly warnings exist for silly people," but remember that the goofballs aren't all consumers
Agreed, but the warnings are still there in order to prevent any further action. SureFire has always identified that the lights had a hot surface but I would bet the further explanation was because of leagal action. It think its sad that a good company has to spend the cost protecting itself from these actions becasue in the long run the cost comes back to us the consumer.
LoL
Wait, I did have an LuxV Surefire LED head that got crazy hot.
I like the verbage on the Pelican light package. Goes something like...
No warranty against Bear attack or children under 5.
"Uh oh, we're going to need another Timmy!" Haha, sorry, anyone remember that show?
