Whether the label on the consumer product cause for an alarm.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction: According to Einstein’s mass-energy equivalence principle, anything having mass is equivalent to the amount of energy and vice versa.
According to the above principle, the statement on the consumer product states that the total amount of mass in the product has 3 million tons of TNT per gram of energy. That is, mass is equivalent to the energy which is just another unit to express it.
Conclusion: Thus, there is no harm to the CAUTION statement. It is just an expression to show the unit of mass into energy.
