Dubious Product Warning Labels
Wow, I've seen literally dozens of strange warning labels on so many products. Post any you've seen or read of here:
Vacuum Cleaner:
1. Do not use to pick up gasoline or flammable liquids
2. Do not use to pick up anything that is currently burning.
3. Do not use to unclog toilets.
On a tube of Crest Toothpaste:
If swallowed contact poison control.
On bag of peanuts:
Warning: Contains nuts.

Yeah, something like the following:Laura Ingalls wrote:I've heard of one on an iron: Do not iron on body. Or something like that.
Warning--Never iron clothes on the body.
Definitely good to know. Here are some others I've read . . .
Blow Dryer:
Warning: Do not use while sleeping.
Christmas Lights:
Warning: For indoor or outdoor use only.
In some countries, on the bottom of Coke bottles:
Open other end.

Ice Cream:
WARNING! Ice cream may be cold
Yeah, that's bad. I bet someone took a scoop out, shoved it in their mouth, and went into shock, because they didn't know the "ice cream" was going to be cold. What is this world coming to?
I'm off to go fine some more!

EDIT: This is pretty ironic actually, because my pastor was saying some of these in church today. Like the iron one... The message had to do with "risk takers" and "risk mangers" aka... people to take risks and take the blame if it's bad, and people who try and blame stuff on other people, because they took a risk.
EDIT 2: He he, here are a few:
Dog Shampoo:
Caution: The contents of this bottle should not be fed to fish
On a lighter:
Do not use near fire, flame, or sparks
Microwave oven manual:
Do not use for drying pets
Air freshener:
For use by trained personnel only
Keep out of reach of children and teenagers
Boeing 757 (yes, a real plane):
Fragile. Do not drop
Childrens cough medicine:
Do not drive car or operate machinery (I'm not sure which to be more disturbed about... that an adult would be taking childrens cough medicine, or that a child would be driving a car, and operating heavy machinery? )
Okay, that's all I got for now.

Yup, you gotta always be ready to withstand those frivolous lawsuits, right? Oh wait--there are no frivolous lawsuits, or so says Mr. Wiesel.
Energizer AAA 4 Pack:
If swallowed, promptly see doctor.
Lighter:
Warning: Do not ignite in face.
Air Conditioner:
Caution: Avoid dropping air conditioners out of windows.
On a hotel-provided shower cap in a box:

On the bag containing a McDonald's Power Rangers toy:

Riight, like kids will think the bag is the toy.

Speaking of frivolous lawsuits:
If I remember correctly this took place in 2003 (and I'm too lazy to look it up). A man was driving down the freeway in his 40-foot Winnebago motorhome. He put it on cruise control and left the wheel to go get a snack. Do I really need to say what happens next? Appearently he took Winnebago to court, won 1.75 Million dollars, and a brand new 40 foot motor home. If that wasn't enough, Winnebago had to change the owner manual to read something like "Do not leave wheel when vehicle is set on cruise control".
