* ''WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries'': ''Feat of Clay'' showed that this trope was important to the origin of Clayface, aka former actor Matt Hagan. After Hagan was in a car accident that left facial scars, he was invited to try a new facial cream that could help him remake his face however he wanted (allowing him to continue his acting career). What he was ''not'' told was that the cream had not been tested... Hagan was their first human test subject. Even ''after'' learning the potential side effects the cream can have on people (addiction after multiple uses, withdrawal symptoms if they stop using it, the fact that an overdose can turn someone into a sentient mound of clay, etc), they ''still'' intend to put the clearly hazardous product onto the market. While Clayface's methods of getting revenge are [[NoKillLikeOverkill extreme]], Batman clearly has no problem with letting Clayface expose the cream's toxicity on live TV.

* In the backstory of ''[[VideoGame/ZeroXOneZeroC 0x10]][[superscript:[[VideoGame/ZeroXOneZeroC c]]]]'', the human race wakes up trillions of years in the future because of a byte order error in the software used to operate cryogenic sleep capsules.



* Comes up constantly in ''VideoGame/{{Fallout}}'', but special mention has to go to Nuka-Cola, the soft drink made with ''radioactive elements''.
** Also worthy of note are the robots, which take SuperPoweredRobotMeterMaid to absolutely insane levels; Mr. Handies, butler robots, come with circular saws and ''flamethrowers'', while every model of Protectron could kill or maim people, even the ones with jobs like construction or ''paramedic''.
* In ''VideoGame/NoUmbrellasAllowed'', some items, usually the less popular hoverboard brands, are considered "Safety-Threatening", reducing their base price by 40%. [[spoiler:During the final week, AVAC declares ''all'' hoverboards as such, claiming that they're the leading cause of accidents, but HUE suspects that they're trying to prevent people from escaping Ajik City with them before they pour [[EmotionSuppression Fixerain]] on them.]]
