There is a yearly contest by Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch for warning labels that evidence our preoccupation with getting sued.
This years winner: A flushable toilet brush that warns users "Do not use for personal hygiene"
Other winners:
--- a label on a popular scooter for children that warns: "This product moves when used."
---warning on a digital thermometer that can be used to take a person's temperature several different ways: "Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally."
--- a label on an electric hand blender promoted for use in blending, whipping, chopping and dicing, that warns: "Never remove food or other items from the blades while the product is operating."
--- a label on a nine- by three-inch bag of air used as packing material. It carries this warning: "Do not use this product as a toy, pillow, or flotation device."
