yeah really. i have to completely agree. while considerable improvements have been made to microwaves since then, it does not mean that people should disregard the fact that there may be a potential risk, while rare, when using the microwave, and should still exercise caution. good point.

lol, i think leftovers, and frozen dinners, as long as they don't contain liquid are completely safe. i haven't heard any disaster stories about food in general being a potential harm. however, it seems like liquid and the microwave is not a good match to begin with. ultimately, the microwave, unlike other products, is an appliance of convenience, and i still feel if people feel really concerned then they can simply avoid this situation entirely by considering another heat source. but if you do put liquid in the microwave, just be aware that there is a risk, while small, of a potential harmful situation, and that you do need to take extra precaution when putting liquid in the microwave.
