Consumer advocate: Manufacturers of children's toys often place warnings on their products that overstate the dangers their products pose. ███████████████ ██████ ██████ █████████ ███████ ████ ██ █████ ██ ███████ █████████ ██ █████ ████████ █████████████ █████████ █████ █████████ ███████ ██████ ███ ███ ███████ ██ ██████████ ██████████ ████ ████████ ███████ ██ ███████ ██ ███████ █████████ ██████████ █████████████ ██ ██████████ ████ ██████ ███ █████████ ███ ███████ █████ ████████ █████
Summarize Argument
The author concludes that manufacturers of children’s toys should not overstate the dangers of their toys. This is based on the principle that product-warning labels should overstate dangers only if doing so reduces injuries. But manufacturers of children’s toys overstate their products’ dangers only for the purpose of protecting themselves from lawsuits.
Identify and Describe Flaw
The author assumes that if the purpose of overstating the dangers of children’s toys is to avoid lawsuits, then it cannot have the effect of reducing injuries. This overlooks the possibility that overstating the dangers could reduce injuries, even if the manufacturers’ purpose in overstating is about something else besides reducing injuries.
