Stupid product warnings?!?

Re: Stupid product warnings?!?

A toaster I bought had a warning "Do not use while in the bathtub" with it.

I didn't either... Good thing they told me...

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"A can of Planter's peanuts says "Caution: This can contains peanuts" - Gee, I hope so [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Stupid product warnings?!?

Here in Sweden we haven't had much lawsuits over misuse of products, so we don't have very many obvious warning signs - except when it comes to cigarettes! The government is on a hardcore propaganda raid to make people quit smoking, so we get these huge warning stickers on the packets.

I am reading off of my cigarette pack right now. It says:
"Smoking will seriously harm yourself and people in your surroundings."

A while back they had one that just said: "SMOKING KILLS". I liked that one. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I think they had to pull it after a court decision in favour of the tobacco industry though.

I love how lighters say "Keep away from fire" but when you light them there is a fire on top of it. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

If the water gets cold, you can use the toaster to warm it up, no? [img]/images/graemlins/idea2.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Stupid product warnings?!?

Don´t know if its true or not, but I have heard about a Superman costume wearing a tag saying "this costume will not give you the ability to fly"

This one is pretty weird too:

Well, a good portion of the toilets in Korea are just a hole in the ground so squatting is the norm. Not sure how a die-hard Korean would approach a real toilet, though. I imagine it would look like something like that pic. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

What the fuck else would be in a can of peanuts? Anyone who is deathly alergic to peanuts who opens a can of peanuts and eats them deserves to die.

I guess so. It's about as smart as one of us tipping back a bottle of motor oil... Wait, those have warnings not to ingest too! Goddammit people are stupid!
