I wasted $40k on a fantastic startup idea
What if you limited the range from I don’t know if it’s poisonous to X% likely poisonous vs is/is not poisonous?

People empirically do not understand probability in a useful way. Folks will, in aggregate, read that as "X% poisonous", not "X% chance to be kill you."
"Oh, that's only 25%, it'll be fiiine."

Even if you can avoid being liable for it, I'd think most people wouldn't want someone's death hanging over their head for reasons beyond the legal.
