Devils advocate here - you do need to print these to make them dangerous. They’re not items that are being given to children without parent consent.
Comment on Let's talk about Prusa Printables contests. It might need some fixing.

If you run a contest or sweepstakes and set out rules you are bound to them. Ignoring them like Prusa did exposes you up to liability claims.

Not really. In most jurisdictions, only gambling type sweepstakes (ie a random draw) are governed that tightly. Fan voted things like this are more or less unregulated. Plus, you have to read (and understand) the legalese fingerprint to determine legal responsibilities. I’d be surprised if there weren’t language in there a that absolves them of almost all legal responsibility.
