Warning warning

That big scary red warning seems to be a little bit out of proportion and rather more negative in tone than it needs to be. While I think much of the warning is sound it seems a bit much. Is there a similar big red warning on selecting tubing and containers for purified water?

This is not a medical site and as such few would expect medically perfect advice. There is unlikely to be many that will print a breast-pump unless they have some knowledge of how to use them. There are no references in the warning section making it look a little like scare mongering.

I'm letting Fixer (who added the notice) know about your comment - User talk:Fixer#Breast pump.

It's true that many other pages are equally deserving of warnings (and in many cases a warning would be good). But I'd like to take the best from this, and use it to improve the page. We need a standard way of leaving comments that will actually be noticed, in an way that is understood to be collaborative and positive in intent. (I can speak for Fixer's positive intent, btw.)

Parts of the warning could be removed as they're addressed.

I'm also toning down the red to pink. --Chriswaterguy 23:33, 29 May 2012 (PDT)

Agreed - I moved most of warning to a safety section and left in the primary design flaw in pink - which I agree is appropriate. I am not a particular expert on this either -- hopefully KalleP can correct the design flaw and tighten this design down. -- Fixer 06:25, 30 May 2012 (PDT)
