Well, of course. However, if it is considered useful to put notices on
coffee cups that say the contents may be hot, perhaps this will protect cemetery management from being charged with, say, being accessories to
murder.

Food you buy for heating (oven, stove, or microwave) often says
something like "Caution: Will be hot" at the end of the instructions.

On some packaging there is a line that says "Open other end" ... and on
some when you go to the other end it says "Open Here". :-\

Given that half the population of the USA can't read
beyond the 6th grade level, and over 25% are functionally
illiterate (and 66% of those were born in the USA) ....

I actually managed to heat an item to the point that it /emitted steam
for a few minutes/ when I unwrapped it.
Of course, that was because I heated it way more than needed.

On some packaging there is a line that says "Open other end" ... and on
some when you go to the other end it says "Open Here". :-\

Also "This side up" or "This end up", often with a stylized arrow
pointing (presumably) "up". Another one is "Use no hooks".
This has been going on for a long, long time.
And, sometimes, it /does/ matter which end you open the box from.
Depending on how the inner packing is set up.
