Inaccurate Product Information is a Problem

I recently purchased a Princeton Tec Amp 4.0 flashlight from REI in Boise, Idaho.  When reviewing the product packaging (see photo below), I was surprised to notice that it listed a shorter burn time for the low beam setting (120 hrs) compared to the high (150 hrs).  Upon visiting the product’s website, I learned that the actual burn time for the low beam was 160 hrs.

While the error was nothing more then an annoyance, if it would have been an inaccuracy in the safety information, problems greater than annoyance might have resulted.  Hence, it is important that manufacturers provide accurate packaging information so that users will know how to safely use their products.
