You know they dont put these warning labels on things unless someone has done it and sued the company bc there wasnt a warning label that told them not to and they won..:eek:

Some things in life should go without saying, but it seems there's always somene who needs to be told not to eat a matress....:doh:


On a can of Insect spray:
"Harmful to bees."

On a life-saving device:
"This is not a life-saving device."

On a motorcycle Mirror:
"Objects in the mirror are actually behind you."

On garden furniture:
"Keep away from damp and sunlight"

On a box of sleeping pills:
"May cause drowsiness"

On a milk bottle:
"After opening, keep upright."

On a bag of peanuts:
"This product contains nuts."

On a water heater:
"If building which heater resides is on fire, do not go into building"

On a mattress:
"Do not attempt to swallow."

On a TV remote control:
"Not dishwasher safe."

On a garden hose:
"May cause cancer in California"

On an iron:
"Never iron clothes on the body"

On a graduation gown:
" Do not wash or dry clean"

On a video game console:
"Do not attempt to stick head inside deck, which may result in injury"

On a bottle of aspirin:
"Do not take if allergic to aspirirn"

On a chainsaw:
"Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals"

On a birthday card:
"Not suitable for children aged 36 months or less"

On a wristwatch:
"This is not underwear. Do not put in pants."

On a hammer:
"Do not use to strike any solid object"

On a curling iron:
"For external use only"

I've got another volume of these readers--I have the Ahh-inspiring bathroom reader. It's a fun read (perfect bathroom reading :D ). I learn something new everytime!

By the way, those warnings were a hoot!

Here's a fun bit:


'Warning: Postal Workers may be Dangerous to your Health'. This appeared to be a gross understatement, if for no other reason than a warning label usually meant that the particular item that it was displayed on was completely safe, unless it was interacted with by a complete idiot. For example, a breath freshening spray bottle was typically covered with warnings, on the off chance that you might like to spray it directly into your eyes while lighting a cigarette.
The really dangerous things in the world were items that had no labels whatsoever. Knives are a good example of this phenomena. They can cut right through a metal can, and still remain sharp enough to slice a tomato perfectly every time. They can also cut, maim, and kill users quite accidentally, without the user being an idiot.
Reggie was currently staring at another great example of a product that had no warning label at all, but certainly deserved one.
A gun.

True story: I was assembling furniture at my place of employment one day and referencing the instructions. The instructions for a coffee table were as follows

1. Invert table top
2. Place legs at coners
3. Bolt legs to table top
4. Turn table over for proper use
