Wacky warning labels!

You Won't Believe This Warning Label!

Warning! Keep your pants on when sitting in the Interactive Health massage chair featuring "Human Touch Technology." The full text of this important safety tip read: "Do not use massage chair without clothing. Never force any body part into the backrest area while the rollers are moving."

That warning is a winner of the Wacky Warning Label Contest. Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, a group whose goal is to show that fear of frivolous lawsuits has led to a loss of corporate common sense, sponsors an annual contest for the wackiest warning labels.

Second Place: "Do not use snow blower on the roof."

Third Place: "Do not allow children to play in the dishwasher."

Previous winners in the "Wacky Warning Label Contest" are presented here for your amusement and amazement:

•A warning on an electric router made for carpenters cautions, "This product not intended for use as a dental drill."

•A warning label found on a baby stroller cautions the user: "Remove child before folding."

•A bottle of prescription sleeping pills says, "Warning: May cause drowsiness."

•A sticker on a toilet at a public facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan actually warns: "Recycled flush water unsafe for drinking."

•A CD player carries this unusual warning: "Do not use the Ultradisc2000 as a projectile in a catapult."

•An "Aim-n-Flame" fireplace lighter cautions, "Do not use near fire, flame, or sparks."

•A label on a hand-held massager advises consumers not to use "while sleeping or unconscious."

•A container of underarm deodorant says, "Caution: Do not spray in eyes."

•A cartridge for a laser printer warns, "Do not eat toner."

•A bathroom heater says: "This product is not to be used in bathrooms."

Those are funny. Are people really that stupid, or is our court system so screwed up that companies have to protect themselves?

I like the one, on a chain saw: "Do not attempt to stop chain, using hands or genitals." Ouch!

Why do curling irons and hair dryers warn you not to use them while asleep? I would like to save time in the morning, but NOT by maiming myself!

Jeff Foxworthy does a routine, on this subject. These warnings get put on products because somebody, somewhere actually DID these things.

There seems to be a decided lack of common sense, these days.

For EVERY warning you see.... some one did it!

One of my favorites....

McDonalds coffee cup: Caution contains hot liquid.

DUH!

I'm sorry but if anyone did the above things, they should be using 'items' in the first place!

:tounge2:

The really sad thing is that for these to be warnings, someone not only had to DO these things, but had to either complain to the company or file a lawsuit. So they were not only dumb enough to do it, they ADMITTED to it later!
