    The idiotic “may cause cancer” labels are to blame for that. When warnings are constant and over-the-top, they get ignored. Good ideas often backfire.

      in Australia technically we have to get a licensed electrician to change a light bulb

        I can accept when it about messing with the installation but a lightbulb? Those are made to be easy to replace. It’s a screw and a threaded socket, 95% of the case. Unless someone is purposefully trying to do something wrong, the risk close to none.
