Actualized Virtual Boy

I did purchase one of the Blockbuster Virtual Boys, thanks to
information from photo-3d'ers. Allan Woods was even nice enough
to call to tell me where to find one. The one I got is in mint
condition and came with the sturdy black plastic case. I bought
two games: Red Alarm and Vertical Force. Vertical Force has good
stereo effect.
One last thing, and I think we may have discussed this when the
V-B was introduced, but it comes with a warning that states that
the game "MUST NOT be used by children under the age of seven (7)
years. Artificial stereo vision displays may not be safe for such
children and may cause serious, permanent damage to their vision."
Note, the caps are from the warning.
Is this just Nintendo's way of avoiding nusance law suits or is
there some research on the effects of stereo displays that we
don't know about. It's hard to imagine it causing "serious"
and "permanent" damage!
