My Gods what idiots the world has to require such lawyer-proofing everything.

In order for there to be warnings, someone has to have attempted these, lmao!!!

I know this is supposed to be funny, but it's very sad to think that there are humans out there who NEED warning labels like these! And even some of the warnings are idiotic.

Reply to This

I think some of the warnings are because of some litigation-happy idiots out there, like the famous case about the guy who burned his crotch when coffee from McD's spilled on his lap after he went over a speed bump.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if some idiot ironed clothes while wearing them, or some of the other crazy stuff listed there.

Alan, that makes a lot of sense! I know certain people do really stupid things, but that list (I'm sure there are a lot more warning labels not covered on that list) is really out there!

On some car batteries - Do not drink contents !!! WTF ?

Some folk just want to make you cuddle a toaster in the bath ! LOL

"Do not attempt to swallow."

Hmmm, since it's on a mattress, perhaps the swallowing warning pertains to other things....
I think my favorite is the fireworks one. Although, if someone's dumb enough to put things that explode violently in their mouth, then attempt to light it, I say give them their Darwin award. They deserve it.

LOL!!! I agree!!!
