    Final assessment

    A 18 to 7 majority finds I absent: Missing kitchenware and unknown item value describe the theft, not consequences such as danger or injury. 7 reads mark it present.

    What the hazard could do to the people in its path. Beyond naming the threat, a complete warning conveys its potential consequences or severity, such as that a tornado can level buildings or that a leak could be explosive, so recipients grasp how much danger they are in. Research on warning message content finds that a concrete impact statement helps people personalize their risk and act sooner.
