Exactly, like govt mandated warnings on products.

I'd wager 7 out of 10 jurors have never heard of the Jury Nullification option.

If they need to be given a pamphlet to be aware of the option, odds are they should not be in a jury in the first place.
If one is not aware of the concept of jury nullification, a pamphlet is inadequate to educate the ignorant, but more importantly, to make the intellectual leap that it is never applicable to the thug on trial who simply happens to be the same color as you...
