Warnings in consumption artifacts: a design strategy for safety of users

Walter Franklin Marques Correia, Fábio F. da Costa Campos, Marina de Lima Neves Barros

Abstract


This article discusses the application of warnings on consumer products. It will address issues relating to the instruction manual and its relation to products and review a sample of users in the cities of Recife and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in order to consider the effects of warnings on these products. In this study, we observed the neglect of many consumers do not consider security as a basic principle at the time of purchase of new products.
