Subject: Stupid Warnings on products
Written By: whitewolf on 03/10/05 at 12:18 pm
I'm sure most of us have seen stupid warnings on products, here are some that I have seen
Like a bread-pudding container that says, “Product will be hot after heating.†Or the iron that cautions, “Do not iron clothes on body.†Or a chain saw that admonished, “Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands.â€Â
How a windshield sunshade that says, “Don’t operate vehicle with shade in place?†The Christmas lights that say, “For indoor or outdoor use only.†The sleep aid that says, “Warning: may cause drowsiness.†Or the Superman costume that wants you to know, “This costume will not enable wearer to fly.â€Â
On a package of penuts, allegery alert:contains nuts.

On a charcoal package: Do not hold lit charcoal in your hand. ( A DUH!!)
On Christmas lights: For indoor and outdoor use ONLY. (As opposed to....?)

How about the delicious Tiramousu (sp?) which, labelled on the bottom, asks you not to turn it upside down. (woops...:D)
Or the computer which has the warning: "Leave closed to warm as to let the computer warm up so the air does not condense and leave the appliance wet (I think it says this)". (Sensible...)
But guess where they put it. Inside the box!
