Silly consumer warnings
[See related categories: Legal arena / Wacky and Strange ]

Here are some silly quotes from actual consumer product packages and instructions, as well as from newspapers.

On a bag of JONNY CAT cat litter -- "JONNY CAT is the best value for your money. A 20-pound bag of JONNY CAT contains 25% more litter than 16-pound bags, and 43% more than 14-pound bags!"

From a kid's Superman costume for Halloween (stitched into the cape's tag) -- "Warning: Use of This Device Does Not Enable Wearer To Fly."

From a Pop-Tart box -- "Warning: Pastry Filling May Be Hot When Heated."

From a newspaper article -- "A congressionally funded study has determined that many smokers are ignoring the warning labels on cigarette packages"

From a hair blow-dryer instruction sheet -- "Warning: Do Not Use While Sleeping."

On the package for Top Cog fan belts (for automobiles) -- "Do not change the belt while the engine is running."

From a Boston Globe piece, during a 1973 summer heat wave describing ways to beat the heat -- "No. 1: Stay out of the direct rays of the sun."

Found on the inside of a pull top lid of a liquid radiator sealant -- "Caution: DO NOT LICK LID."

Written on the back of one of those things you put in your car windshield on sunny days when you park to keep your dash from melting -- "DO NOT OPERATE VEHICLE WITH SCREEN IN PLACE."

From the Indigo PC Owners Manual pp.6-9 -- "Hardware Dos and Don'ts: Do not dangle the mouse by its cable or throw mouse at co-workers."

On a box of those cloth roller towels in a restroom -- "Warning! Improper use may cause serious injury or death!"
