Good for a Laugh

The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, a group whose goal is to show that the fear of frivolous lawsuits has led to a loss of corporate common sense, sponsors the annual contest for the wackiest warning labels. These are many of the labels from the 2003 contest, including the top 5 stupidest labels.


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 household iron warns users: "Never iron clothes while they are being worn."

A label with a hair dryer reads, "Never use hair dryer while sleeping."

A 13-inch wheel on a wheelbarrow warns: "Not intended for highway use."

A cardboard car sunshield that keeps sun off the dashboard warns, "Do not drive with sunshield in place."

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

A can of self-defense pepper spray warns users: "May irritate eyes."

A warning on a pair of shin guards manufactured for bicyclists says: "Shin pads cannot protect any part of the body they do not cover."

A popular manufactured fireplace log warns: "Caution: Risk of Fire."

A box of birthday cake candles says: "DO NOT use soft wax as ear plugs or for any other function that involves insertion into a body cavity."

On a snow sled: "Beware: sled may develop high speed under certain snow conditions."

On a 12-inch-high storage rack for compact discs: "Do not use as a ladder."

Heres the top five warning labels in the contest.

#5 A 5-inch fishing lure with three nasty steel hooks advises it is "Harmful if swallowed." Too bad fish can't read!

#4 "Do not allow children to play in the dishwasher."

#3 Warning on a bottle of drain cleaner: "If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product."

#2 "Do not use snow blower on the roof."

 

The # 1 wackiest warning label is for a massage chair: "Caution, do not use massage chair without any articles of clothing on. Do not insert any body part into the back of the unit.

Ok.....this is just sad. People have actually had to have done this stuff in order for companies to make such dumb labels. I'm sorry, but if people are dumb enough to fold up their children inside a stroller, shoot a CD player out of a catapult, perform dental surgery on themselves with an electric router, eat printer ink for dinner, destroy their roofs with snowblowers by trying to remove snow or want to get sexual relief from using a massage chair, they should be removed from the genepool...IMMEDIATELY!!!
