Stupid Labels


Stupid people are great. Without stupid people, we wouldn't have these:

On a Sears hairdryer: "Do not use while sleeping."


On a bag of Fritos: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside."


On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap."


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


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


On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating."


On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body."


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

On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness..."


On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only."


On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use."


On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."


On an American Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."


On a child's Superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."


On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."

Re: Stupid Labels


And on the barrel of a Remington Pump Action shotgun "Read instructions before use - this gun can kill or injure" - and if I remember correctly they put this there because someone shot a family member then sued the manufacturer because they hadn't realised guns were dangerous.

And then there is the story about a woman who microwaved her cat - I think she good over a million in compensation.

I glad you posted though - I hadn't realised about the chainsaw and the genitals. [img]images/smilies/icon_surprised.gif[/img]

I wonder about people sometimes. Especially the woman with the cat.
