In this case hypothetical, say, if they sold the working goggles as a novelty. Even for most relatively safe electronics there's a long list of don'ts that often rule out normal use (let alone typical use). Infamously VR goggles sometimes cause epileptic seizures even in people susceptible to epileptic seizures.

Some judges recognize no one reads TOS or can understand the legal language. Others (such as SCOTUS) beieve the draconion terms in the TOS are enough to absolve the manufacturer of responsibility.

WTF are you talking about?! There is no TOS because there are no end users and this is just an art piece!

Uhhh... they're making it clear that this is a hypothetical, in which the goggles get sold to end-users.

Maybe try reading the words on your screen next time?
