It prevents being sued by stupid (or overly clever) persons.

I don't know what part of the brain allows you to not know these things. As if you really need a warning. Go figure.

And the funny thing is that I think it's because of stupid people doing those and the lawsuit following their idiocy that gets those warnings placed....

How do people stupid enough to need these cautions get out of the house and to the store without a keeper?

The sad part of all this is that these idiots reproduce.

The really sad thing about all these warning labels is that somewhere, someone actually did those things and that's why the warning label is there...think about that...LOL

Be careful, GITANO, or you Mai-Tai will have a warning that reads "Caution: do not read anything funny while drinking or you may choke".

Since a coworker pointed out a warning on a bag of Reese cup mini's that said "Remove wrapper before eating," she confessed to laughing over that and immediately put one in her mouth- forgetting the wrapper... and I've since seen yet another coworker do the same.  Is it contagious?  lol

On a can of cheese wiz my mom baught years ago it says "caution: remove lid before using" and on one of my school books for my LPN to RN bridge program it said "Remove plastic before using"


God took one pair of angels wings, one halo heart of gold
two eyes that hold compassion for others young and old,
two hands that offer kindness, always putting others first...
he wrapped it up with tender care
and called this gift a nurse

• On a package of silly putty. "Do not use as ear plugs."

 


My son's ENT Doctor actually suggested this for my son.  He said it works way better for the little ones (he was 11 months getting tubes) than ear plugs...
