> I think we should just have some pretty clear literature that if you modify a device, the manufacturer is not responsible for any injuries it might cause you.

That's not nearly nuanced enough. Manufacturers should still be responsible unless they can prove you caused the failure. We currently require this standard for something as simple warranty coverage, we ought to require it for something as severe as death.

For reference, see “It’s clear you caused water damage because the water damage sticker changed colour. Warranty claim denied” from not too long ago. Spoiler: It was regular moisture from being in the pants pocket during a warm day.
