I do not know if they have a warning label on them or not but I doubt it. It probably has it as a line item somewhere on the package but not as a warning label. This is similar to the XBox 360 Core that cannot play original XBox games. That system does not have a warning label on it either.
My guess is that similar to the Core, and all other electronic devices, it will have a big list of things it can do and not a list of things it can't. I have no problem with this.

I'm pretty sure I saw photos elsewhere of the box that had a label that said Warning:Does Not play PS2 games. So yes, it's there.
