For eight years, the Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch (M-LAW) has hosted a Whacky Warning Label contest to find the most obviously unnecessary warning label on an American-made product.
Here is this years winner:
Past winners this year include: * A label on a baby stroller warns: �Remove child before folding * A brass fishing lure with a three-pronged hook on the end warns: �Harmful if swallowed * A household iron warns users: �Never iron clothes while they are being worn� * A label on a hair dryer reads, �Never use hair dryer while sleeping� * A warning on an electric drill made for carpenters cautions: �This product not intended for use as a dental drill.� * The label on a bottle of drain cleaner warns: �If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product.� * A smoke detector warns: �Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations. It will not extinguish a fire.� Sheesh!Radio Hall of Fame personality, Dick Purtan, holds a toilet brush which warns: �Do not use for personal hygiene.� The brush was selected by listeners of Purtan�s morning show on Oldies 104.3 WOMC in Detroit as the winner of M-LAW�s Eighth Annual Wacky Warning Label Contest.
