It’s cardboard, not depleted uranium. How the fuck is it so dangerous I must dispose of it if damaged? The entire point of the product is for the furry psychopath that lives with me to damage it. It literally has no other reason to exist.

Only in America.
I presumed that since they mentioned a lawsuit.
True. Everyone knows other countries have no laws! /s
These things actually only degrade as your cat uses them in America. Elsewhere the cardboard doesn't mix with hair and fall off into little cardboard chunks that are attractive for small children to eat. Also, the structural integrity actually only gets stronger in other parts of the world, so you're actually encouraged to step on it, as after some play and what might seem like structural damage to a piece of cardboard, it can actually support the weight of a fully grown adult.
Doesn't it?
The small pieces the cat rips out fill the holes and make the structure stronger, until the cat can't use it anymore, because it's too strong for its claws
Then we use it as bricks for our houses
Haven't you seen the cardboard quarries full of cats working their ass off?
Edit: on a second thought, that's also why de-clawing is unethical here, because it hinders our never ending demand on bricks...
Honestly my issue with the way the US handles these things is that if wealth was distributed more equitably and fluidly we wouldn't need to be half as litigious.
If getting your car damaged didn't mean your only transportation to and from work being nonfunctional in a way that would require several months worth of wages from that job to fix, you wouldn't need to focus as much on who specifically changed lanes wrong, you'd just fix it. And if you could just go to the doctor and get care, and easily take time off work to heal, a little bit of muscle tension would be easy to catch, treat, and heal up from well before the possibility of lifelong and career ending injuries came into question.
If we were able to have the resources and time to just handle most small things, we wouldn't have to be constantly holding every individual working class individual personally liable for which direction they sneeze in. Litigation could be saved for serious and repeat offenders. But no, squeezing every last dime out of the working class is a feature, not a bug.
Ok, I'll bite. So no warning labels? I understand that this is being interpreted as a result of litigation. If there's not a warning label on a car seat or crib for your newborn... Honestly, why would I need to make sure there aren't blankets in the crib or that the mattress isn't too close to my space heater? If the mattress catches on fire or my child suffocates because they're too small to rotate onto their back but their airway was obstructed by the comfy furry blankets I put into their crib - look, I just wanted them to be comfortable!
I may have lost my baby, but there's no point in suing anyone. I should have known better! There were no warning labels. I'll just sleep it off - a life lost, but nobody to blame. It's chill, all good!
You only hear about the ridiculous lawsuits. Local lawyer used to explain it on the radio all the time.
Our sense of risk is absurdly out of whack with reality.
According to a friend who's a lawyer she once had to explain to someone that she can't sue her landlord because she slipped on a wet floor, since it was her house and therefore her wet floor. The landlord merely owns the house, but didn't make the floor wet.
