The person who owns or distributes the dynamite is responsible when somebody blows themselves up, no matter how many labels there are.That's wrong, too---laws of this sort need to be changed.

I don't see why the law should be changed for Dynamite. It seems to work. The number of accidental Dynamite deaths is kept to a minimum.
If you own or keep Dynamite, you just have to handle and store it in a responsible manner, or face strict liability. What's wrong with that? If some schmuck leaves Dynamite sitting around unsecured on a construction site, and somebody takes it and blows themselves up, the owner should have some liablity.
