Warning Labels
Here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods: On a hairdryer : Do not use while sleeping. (Gee, that's the only time I have to work on my hair!) On a bag of sweets: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special!) On a bar of Soap: Directions: Use like regular soap. (And that would be how?) On some frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: Defrost. (But it's *just* a suggestion!) On a dessert: Do not turn upside down. *printed on bottom of the box* (Too late! You lose!) On a Pudding packet: Product will be hot after heating. (Are you sure? Let's experiment. ) On packaging for an iron: Do not iron clothes on body. (But wouldn't that save more time?) (Whose body?) On Children's cough medicine: Do not drive car or operate machinery. (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we just kept those 5 year olds off those fork lifts.) On a sleep medicine: Warning: may cause drowsiness. (One would hope!) On a Korean kitchen knife: Warning keep out of children. (Or pets! What's for dinner?) On a string of Chinese-made Christmas lights: For indoor or outdoor use only. (As opposed to use in outer space? Or underground?) On a Japanese food processor: Not to be used for the other use. (Now I'm curious.) On peanuts packet: Warning: contains nuts. (Not to mention the nut who wrote the warning ) On an American Airlines packet of nuts: Instructions: open packet, eat nuts. (DDDUUUHHH) On a childs superman costume: Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly. (That's right, destroy a universal childhood fantasy!) |

The sad thing is that the actual labels tend to have the warnings they do because of actual lawsuits where people successfully sued for the above mentioned things.
