So, now. BMW is doubly cautious.
Look, I went out to buy an electric heating pad. OMG!!! The piece of crap has so many safety features it is useless. First, it only stays on hot for 15 minutes. Next, you can't reset it (turn it back on) more than 5 times without unplugging it.
What a joke.

Not so sure we can blame "the Nanny State" for this. Sadly, we (the US) have become a "sue happy" nation. So many people will sue a company for the most minor reason. Corporations have had to hire an army of attorneys to write warning labels for every product to ensure the company has covered every conceivable circumstance.
This isn't the states' fault, it's our fault.
