I think it just gets loose if you turn it the wrong way. Google search turns up no credible results that are not old wives tales. What happens to left handed people? If it can only be rotated one way you’d think the makers would either put a label on it or a spring so that you can only turn it one way.

If you ever look at the shape of burrs, they're designed to grind one direction. It shouldn't be necessary to put a sticker on it saying so. Not saying it's going to break but there is a clear difference between turning one way vs the other.

Some pepper grinders feature clockwise for fine grind and counter for coarse grind.

Standard grind is one way. It doesn't hurt the standard grinder much to reverse, maybe just a little more wear. I used a Peugeot pepper grinder possibly ever thirty seconds for decades in restaurants. No fails.

The pewter one I have at home has seems to have not aged a bit in 17 years.
