    On my iron: "Do not iron clothes while being worn."

    How lazy does one have to be to not take off the shirt?
    I have ironed the bottom of a shirt while wearing it :)

    I have a pair of oven mitts that have "do not use on babies" on the tag. I mentioned it to the man, and he says "people are so dumb. Everyone knows when you pull a baby out of the oven, you're supposed to use bbq tongs."

    When I worked at a kennel, we had a dog with a name tag on his collar. One side had his name, the other side said "Not Kosher, please don't eat."

    I wonder if you're allowed to eat him if you're not Jewish.

    :laugh: My I fav is " this coffee is hot". Sure as hell better be!

    Of course I'm an insurance adjuster so I know why they are there and there are bars on my 2nd story apt. Some dumbazz burned themselves on hot coffee then jumped out the window! Then sued anyone they could.


    Now don't forget to takes the kid out of the stroller:happy:

    the boat company my dad works for now has to put warnings not to reverse if someone is swimming behind the boat because someone in America (sorry but you guys seem to have a reputation for suing for everything :|) successfully sued the company after reversing over their friend.... boats work like cars if you put it into reverse and someone is behind they will come off worse... :|!

    That's because the dumb *kitten* in the judicial system let them get away with it. Stupid lawsuits would go down dramatically if they would throw them out. But as long as there's a blood sucking lawyer needing to make a buck....

    AMEN! We really are a litigious society.

    any type of coffee cup that has to say caution may be hot .... damn people and there crazy lawsuits for spilling coffee on themselves cause they where driving, texting and holding coffee all at the same time

    That started with an elderly lady in a McDonald. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald's_Restaurants

    The fact she had over $10 k in med bills in 1994 makes me wonder how hot it was.

    It made for some great Seinfeld episodes :tongue:

    The woman had incredibly bad burns and had to have skin grafts. She was in the hospital for a long time. The coffee was WAY WAY WAY too hot...Its used as the classic example of the frivolous lawsuit but that's just because McDonald's won the PR war with the case. They were wrong.

    TWO of my curling irons have a warning that states "Not for use while taking a bath/shower". Who the heck is trying to curl their hair while they're washing it?

    The box of my perfume had a "not for human consumption" label on it. Um...I want to know who confused perfume with a breath mint?

    No... that's just so you know it's ok to give to your cat... :bigsmile:

    I once burned my stomach with the iron while ironing the shirt I was about to put on. The iron should probably have had a warning label for me!

    I was on a flight to the US a few years ago and they handed out those small packets of peanuts.
    Next to a warning label that said 'Warning: May contain traces of peanuts' (whoa, those are some big traces) there were also detailled instructions on how to eat them... 1. Open package. 2. Take a peanut. 3. Put it in your mouth. 4. Chew!

    Completely agree. Because of this coffee and hot chocolate makers have to be checked all the time, those coils break and over heat I mean 10k in medical bills indicates she had skin grafts, etc.

    I once watched as a small boy reached up to the bar in a ski resort and poured the cup down his ski bibs. Because of that lawsuit I acted quickly and removed his clothes immediately so he'd stop cooking. Asked for tepid water soaked clean bar rag. Poor momma had just turned for a second. When ski patrol came I heard them say I did the right thing as I exited.

    I guess some good came of the suit. I never would have reacted so quickly if I hadn't studied the prior coffee.

    They just forgot punctuation.

    "Do not swallow, Sincerely The Mattress"

    I agree you did the right thing. Unfortunately, a lot of people would now be scared to do that with another person's child.

    Oh then too! It was instinct but I shook for an hour afterwards. Also, note I left without leaving my name. :wink:

    I bet you would have done the same thing:love:

    :laugh:

    My favorite was on a "shower radio", that is a radio intended for and with advertising on the package saying it could be hung in and played in the shower. (It was even shaped with a hook to go over the shower head or towel bar.)

    And then you open it up and the packaged instructions say, "do not get wet". :sad:

    P.S. That may not be my favorite anymore after reading all these! :happy:
