ooooo You will need to do several things and they all involve spending money sadly. First you will need to hire counsel and possibly a safety expert to address the various potential exposures. THEN start to brainstorm the various ways to miminize the risks with any product changes and ensure regulatory compliance. THEN you will need to figure out what kind of warning or safety labels would be appropriate and this will need to be vetted with your marketing people to find a balance that works. By example, lawyers would tell you to have HUGE warning labels like.....DO NOT USE WITH ALCOHOL YOU WILL DIE OR BE DISFIGURED....whch is not a great sales pitch. LOL
