Re:What happens when the warning negates the purpo (Score 1)

The point I was trying to make is that the manufacturer was able to market a product as a 'mountain bike', and then later (after purchase) DENY that the bike is a 'mountain bike'. This seems a little deceptive. Apparently, as this example shows, companies are allowed to perform this kind of advertising chicanery. So while it appears that wacky warning labels are merely intended to absolve a company from responsibility or liability, they may also be used in a more malicious, misinformative way.
