random funny slightly idiotic labels

[UnidentifiedFencerOnline]

i was looking at insect spray in the supermarket one day and one of them had a label that said 'this product is not tested on animals'
!?!

and a friend told me about a CHILDRENS' cough medicine that said 'do not drive or operate machinery after taking this medicine'
really makes you wonder what people in cough medicine making places let their kids do.

must be all the chemicals
tell me of other labels you've seen or heard of

These labels do not appear odd to me. I have animal rights activist friends who will not use any animal products or products that have been tested on animals. Insects are not animals. Likewise, some adults take children's medicine and esp. so if they are small. I note also that my farming relatives have children operating machinery at early ages. [my nephew was driving a truck at age 12, although he couldn't drive on the highway until he was older.]

Killjoy. =^_-=
I was replacing a powersupply once and the shock warning read:
Danger! Do Not Screw Off!

I laughed. There is a phrase to apply to all aspects of life.

The Windsheid screens that warn you not to drive with the screen up, Or hair dryers that warn you not to use them in the shower. You know, the only reason these warnings are there is because some chowderhead did it.

Do not touch blade while it is in motion on a lawnmower

So basically the same genesis as epee rules?

In Nevada it is illegal for any member of the legislature to conduct official business wearing a penis costume while the legislature is in session.

I love that law because someone most likely did it.

Insects are not animals.

Actually, they are. Sorry, just a little nitpicking there.

I love the stupid warning labels on products. Companies are so afraid of getting sued that they have to warn against just about everything. However, I am grateful for those packages that say "may contain nuts," since I have a severe allergy.

Didn't I seen that on an athletic supporter once?
I have seen some building/rooms what needed that sign.

I have a bottle of "hand sanitizer" with the following warning.
.For external use only-hands.

These are my only hands I do not have another set of hands for internal use.
(Okay, that is a little bit of creative misinterpretation, but oh well.)

I saw a news program that did a segment on this. Some of the ones they turned up were funny at first, until you thought about what must've occured to prompt the warning. Like a label on a baby stroller warning not to fold the stroller up while the baby is still inside.

They also pointed out that legitimate, necessary warnings can get lost in all the idiotic ones.

I can't really fault the manufacturers for this. We live in a lawsuit crazy society, where people will sue for anything and likely win.

Then again, seeing that warning on a package of PEANUTS seems a bit silly...

one of my friends told me of a label she saw on a kitchen knife

'WARNING: keep out of children'
it was in Korea...

lalalala

How about the Dodge Viper? It apparently carried a warning label saying that children should only ride in the backseat.

The Dodge Viper doesn't actually have a backseat.

Which begs the question: where should those children ride? In the trunk?

There is always this classic label from a few years back...

I would post...but it runs the risk of being to Engrish-y, and I think those labels have gotten quite old TBH.

When I was still playing soccer, I once bought a set of shinguards which read something like:

WARNING: Will not protect from head injuries.

.... just wow.

My favorite warning label was on a can of Sterno. It said "Caution. Flammable."
