Stupid product warnings?!?

[toejam]

I took a box of Ellio's Pizza out of my freezer before, cooked it and ate it. [img]/images/graemlins/drool2.gif[/img] Anyway, I noticed on the back of the box it said this: "Caution: Product Becomes Hot When Cooked." [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img] Duh, ya think?

Anyone else see any dumb warnings on products for stupid people?

I see stupid obvious warnings all the time and have come to one conclusion: There had to have been some jack-ass that actually had that happen to them on behalf of their stupidity.....and they probably had a lawyer make them independently wealthy because they are dumb.- Rev Lou Siffer

The directions on a shampoo bottle are pretty confusing..

Glad I don't need to read those directions anymore.. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

We have a pressure washer and the instructions advise "Do not use this on your dog" or some such [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. I'm pretty sure the heat gun has some dumb warning about hair-dryers, but I might well be making that one up!....

So it seems. I've heard that's why McDonald's had to put "Warning, hot" signs on the coffee cups.

One of the dumbest I've seen was on a chainsaw. "Warning, do not stop chain with hand". No shit huh? No, I swear, the chain only cuts wood!

I heard that one guy put the cruise control on his camper thinking it was something like autopilot, and went back to make some coffee. Well, of course he crashed, sued, and supposedly those campers come with a warning saying that the cruise control is not the same as autopilot. Probably a bullshit story, but funny nonetheless.

Read the back of a fanbelt

"Make sure engine is stoped before replacing belt"

I can just see the guy standing there waiting for the right time to try to catch the belt while the engines going

Although not a warning label,my personal favorite is the illustrated instructions on the eve wash station....

There is actually a book of stupid warning labels.

I knew someone who had one of those cheap Virtual Reality style helmet things to use to play computer games, and that said "Do not use while cycling". [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] Imagine the possibilities.

My uncle was a tour guide on the Inca trail a few years back, and he came across a set of kitchen knives that said "keep out of children". Obviously the poor translation of "Keep out of reach of children". [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I bought an iron and there was a warning on the box- do not iron your clothes when you're wearing them. True story.

Re: Stupid product warnings?!?

Yup, the RV story was true - assclown set the cruise control and got up from the driver's seat to get some coffee. He caused a major accident and blamed it on the owner's manual not specifically stating he couldn't do that, and the idiot judge ruled in his favor [img]/images/graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

The guy and the judge should be shot in the head and hung in trees until they completely dissolve into dust.

I've got a set of Christmas lights that say "For Indoor/Outdoor Use Only"
