Hm. You're certain? I have this disembodied memory of seeing a box in my
parents' shed in the early '80s, with an implosion hazard warning
emblazoned on. I'm fairly sure it was the box for their old TRS-80 Model
III, but it is possible it belonged to their Zenith TV they'd just bought.

Maybe it was just a bozo-warning.

ok
