It just means that nobody tried to get them DOT approved, so the manufacturers want to cover their asses with a blanket statement. It's like running painted reflectors in North America - it won't make your fender fall off, and you can be pretty sure they won't cause more accidents considering that every other market in the world doesn't require reflectors - but it's illegal in North America so they carry the "off-road or show use only" disclaimer.
