I bought a new curling iron and as I went through the packaging I was struck by this warning label: "CAUTION - THIS PRODUCT CAN BURN EYES." Who figured that out? Snap, talk about the school of hard knocks. And to whom would this not occur? Did the founder of this warning believe that iron can differentiate between hair and optical matter? Furthermore, does this warning imply that all other body parts are safe from the wrath of the iron?
Check out these other hilarious labels.
Shampoo for dogs -The contents of this bottle should not be fed to fish.
Shin guards - Pads cannot protect any part of the body they do not cover.
Electric rotary tool - This product not intended for use as a dental drill.
Battery - Battery may explore or leak. (It's a Dora battery apparently.)
Novelty rock garden - Eating rocks may lead to broken teeth.
Toilet bowl brush - Do not use orally.
Butcher knife - Please keep out of children.
1 year-old's birthday card - Not suitable for children aged 36 months or less.
Deodorant - Do not use intimately.
Rat poison - Has been fond to cause cancer in laboratory mice.
Manual for an SGI computer - Do not dangle the mouse by its cable or throw the mouse at coworkers.
On seal - Do not eat if seal is missing.
Wristwatch - Warning! This is not underwear! Do not attempt to put in pants.
It's a mad, mad world.

Thank goodness for warnings. I don't think I would have known to keep a knife away from my little girl or that dog shampoo was not fish food. Good Heck! I always hoped we were getting smarter with every generation but apparently we are not if companies are making products with these kind of warnings. Sad!
Thats so funny!! Thanks for sharing!
seriously? so sad it's funny
surely some of these warnings came out of stupid people suing them. like mcdonald's coffee being TOO hot.
I feel good about your use of the term "optical matter." It's just so scientific sounding. It also reminds me of that sound byte about alchohol...the part where the small print is read quickly...Alcohol consumption may...make you think you are talking quietly than you really are...may cause pregnancy...may cause you to want to tell your friends in a really loud voice how much you love them...may inspire the desire to call your ex at 3am...you know, that one.
Note to self: don't read HRH's blog when you are in public... people find it off putting when you laugh and they don't know why. I love you and miss you!!
Ha ha ha! Those are great! Love your blog-it's so fun!
