After getting hurt, I was initially shocked why the manufacturer wouldn�t have warnings to prevent this injury. The fact that I had to carefully look for such warnings and instructions makes them defective. The two warnings I could find were on the pitcher lid and the �Quick Start� instructions (I have pictures upon request). Its lid warning fails to comply with best standard warning practices and ANSI Z535 by failing to mention the spe
