There's always some idiot who would take a sleeping pill, then drive a car, get into a car wreck, and tell the police it wasn't their fault because the warning label wasn't specific and sue the company.
On the other hand there are some people who don't know the difference between sleepy and drowsy.

Prevents people from making a claim against the company involved if they have an accident due to drowsiness after taking the tablets.
Also, by law substances must have warning labels if they may have an effect that may cause harm, such as flamable, irritant etc...

The answer to this is Frivolous law suits, I am sure you heard the one about the Winnebago, where the guy set it on cruise control and went to the back to make a cup of coffee or the fact that there on warning on a cup of coffee about being hot so that someone does not put it between their legs when driving, If there wasn't warning on pills you would have some one who sued after an accident where they fell asleep because they thought the pill would make them sleepy when the got ready to go to bed and not until then.

Is the letter on actual letter head or sparkling paper? Is the return address a similar because of the fact the U.S. lawyer's workplace? have you ever checked that on the internet? Is there a case selection or different figuring out registration selection? There must be so your lawyer can seem up the expenditures pending. that's unusual that they sent you a letter like that. "whats up Mr. Drug broker. we will come once you next week. Get a lawyer." The Feds do no longer in many circumstances do this, besides the shown fact that despite if that's a white collar crime they might. despite if that's on actual table sure with a the best option return address and placed up mark, purchase an hour of a lawyer's time. it ought to no longer injury.

Classic case of CYA
The same reason peanut packs state they may contain nuts and coffee cups say coffee is hot.
It is to prevent morons from bringing law suits.

Maybe it is the sleeping pills themselves that get drowsy and not you. lol

the labels also says: 'do no not drive or operate machinery', and together with that first warning it sound a bit less silly.

For the people who try to squeeze money out of anyone for the most random and illogical things.
Other examples include:
On a child's superman costume:
"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly".
On a Swedish chainsaw:
"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals".
yeah...
