Is this a misprint?

I purchased some pain relief ointment recently.

While reading the directions, I was surprised to see the following pertaining to its use:

'children under 2 years of age: ask a doctor'

 

What? This can't be right. 

I don't know what kind of children under 2 the people who write these directions associate with.

I don't know any child under 2 that would be able to ask a doctor anything!

According to what I read, a child by the age of 2 should be able to string a couple of words together (example - mama car). 

But that's a far cry from asking a doctor any questions they have regarding the use of a pain relief ointment. Their parents should do it!

That seems to have started with the 'Caution coffee is hot' disclaimer resulting from a lawsuit from a customer that sued a fastfood chain because the hot coffee that they bought, advertised as hot scalded them when they spilled the cup....madness, really.
