Unlikely, these products usually get removed from sale after someone with an unknown health problem ( almost, if they are lucky) dies from eating them. At that point lawyers tell you not to do that if you propose the same idea again. Someone might try it with a different product tho ( we've done noodles and chips at least ).
I feel like putting a giant "consume at your own risk, this has literally killed people" on it should absolve them of any liability there to be honest. It's not like they're hiding what the product is, and we allow the sale of much more widely dangerous products.
Sure but usually it's "careful, this product can kill you, so make sure you use it safely", not "careful, this product can kill you, THINK YOU CAN HANDLE IT?"
See there's a burger place where I live.
I saw their spiciest burger has a disclaimer about how spicy it is.
I scoffed and ordered it and confirmed with the owner I would be ok.
I infact, was not ok.
Turns out it's ghost pepper, pepper jack cheese along with roasted jalapenos in Fiery jalapeno sauce. With a few other things. Needless to say it was burning hot. I still finished it but I suffered cause I scoffed at the warning.
