Humour: Warnings on labels

Frivolous lawsuits are great for devious lawyers and warning-label writers.

The Wacky Warning Label Contest, conducted by the
Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, celebrates both parties.

This years winners

4th Place: A five-inch fishing lure with three
steal hooks cautions users that it is "harmful if swallowed."

3rd Place: A warning label found on a
12-inch-high storage rack for compact disc
reminds purchasers: "Do not use as a ladder."

2nd Place: The label on one snow sled is very
adamant: "Beware sled may develop high speed under certain snow conditions."

And the Grand Prize winner: Warning label found
on a bottle of drain cleaner: "If you do not
understand or cannot read all directions,
cautions and warnings, do not use this product."
