32. As long as it is consistent

We have cars that can more than double the highest allowed speed in the US, do we consider them defective or sue the manufacturer because the car is too fast? Ever car commercial shows the car going very fast or being operated recklessly; there is a tiny disclaimer that you should not do this. Are car makers held responsible for those who do not follow the disclaimer?

No we hold the operator of the vehicle responsible for misusing it.
