Is there a duty to warn of the dangers of placing a hand between the tongue-guides?
New Brunswick, Canada
The following excerpt is from Roy v. Doucet, 2005 NBCA 84 (CanLII):
Moreover, the law is rightly allergic to the imposition of a duty to warn one’s reasonably intelligent “neighbour” (see Donoghue v. Stevenson, 1932 CanLII 536 (FOREP), [1932] A.C. 562 (H.L.)) against dangers that are self-evident. There is no evidence that the appellant was anything other than reasonably intelligent, and the slight risk posed by placing a hand between the tongue-guides was obvious.
