Dangers in removing the back of older Television?

Question

With the warnings on the back of TV s, " that removing the back may result in electric shock "(when not connected to a powerpoint) is there something in there that can actually shock you ? If so what is in the back that can cause a shock? Or is the warning on the back in case someone tries to open the back up with it plugged into a powerpoint?
