The best way for Apple to not have liability is to not have any of these features in the first place. The world was perfectly fine when the only way to call 911 was to physically press the buttons 9-1-1 in the phone app. And the day the flip phones they were physical buttons, and in the days of rotary phones it was a dial. There was also a large swath of time where a landline phone would have physical buttons.

The most obvious observation is that Apple should've never included the feature in the first place. The moment I saw an ad for the feature I knew that it would trigger false 911 calls.

There are two sliders, both of which do very different functions on the exact same screen, so I can fully understand someone making this mistake

The only system which should call 911 is someone going to the phone app and typing in the numbers 911 then pressing the call button. Any other feature which calls 911 should be eliminated.

The moment I heard about this feature, I knew that it would lead to false 911 calls. Thankfully I have a Samsung phone which doesn't have these idiotic features.

I meant the episode with the motorcycle gang taking over the house and Dewey calling all of their mothers to make them leave. Were you talking about the billboard episode?

Unless you work for the US Mint, saying "we just launched a new theory of quarters" is incorrect.
