First place: The sign on the toilet brush says: "Do not use for personal hygiene."
Second place: children's scooter that said, "This product moves when used
Third place: digital thermometer that said, "Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally."

Gotta wonder about who creates these warnings. :rotflmao:

Got to wonder about the mentality of the people who make it necessary for these warnings to be posted in the first place.

The "compensation culture" has definitely got out of control and needs to be seriously reviewed.

Here in the UK we have the farce of a man who whilst driving; hit and killed a young girl, successfully suing HER parents for the emotional stress he'd gone through ! ! ! ! !

On a Sear's hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping." (Gee, that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside." (The shoplifter special)

On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (And that would be how ...?)

On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost."

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (Too late!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: “Product will be hot after heating." (As night follows day . . .)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (But wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."

(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (One would hope.)

On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (As opposed to what?)

On a Japanese food processor: “Not to be used for the other use." (I gotta admit, I'm curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (Talk about a news flash.)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." ( Step 3: Fly Delta.)

On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (Was there a lot of this happening somewhere? My God! Are Swedes that much tougher than we are?)

One time when I was a kid we had this frisbee, we'd throw it around and I got the idea to read the little inprints on the back of it, it read as follows:
Warning Choking Hazard. :laugh:

[Snurfen]

Well this statement will cut down on nature's leveller (aka "natural selection")

"There are many cases of warning labels saving lives," says Joanne Doroshow
