A Vanishing Fabric Marker Warns: Should Not Be Used as a Writing Instrument for Signing Checks or Any Legal Documents

Surprisingly, Jones also had no information on any lawsuits regarding this "Wacky Warning Labels" finalist either ... though it's possible the legal documents just disappeared.

"It should be common sense not to sign a contract with a vanishing marker, but you never know," he said.

But he did come up with an instance in which this warning might not apply.

"I think a lot of people will be tempted to use this for their tax returns."

:girl_haha:

From the article above. Oh dear. Hahaaaa.

Two-Pronged Fishing Hook Warns: Harmful If Swallowed

All this talk of pen caps might be making you hungry, but try to avoid the temptation to eat your fishing hook. Apparently, the jagged piece of metal can be harmful.

"The fishing hook contains a trace amount of lead and under California law if you have any amount of lead in a product you have to have a warning on it that says harmful if swallowed," Jones explained. "So the attorneys advised that they put it on the box, even though no one would ever consider swallowing this thing."

"It didn't used to be this way," he added. "Our grandparents didn't need to be told not to swallow a fishing lure."

Bet the fish wish someone would tell them.

If there had been warning labels back "in the old days", my grandmother would never have soaked my foot in kerosene when I stepped on a rusty nail. It must have worked, because I did not get "lock jaw" (her word for tetnus).

Here's a warning on a box of sandwich bags I bough yesterday: "Warning: To avoid danger of suffocation, keep this product and all plastic bags away from babies and children. Do not use this product in cribs, beds, playpens or strollers."

Dang I thought I might sleep with one.

I don't have a bag of gummie bears, but there is a warning on them that basically says if you eat to many it will act as a laxative. Check next time you see a bag.

My all time favorite is on many clothes labels: Do not iron while wearing." Apparently, some idiot tried to iron while wearing.

I hate the tags that come on pillows that say "do not remove by penalty of law". :duh:Until I was 30 or so, I didn't take them off because of that tag.
hahahaha

OK, my husband picked up his prescription sleeping pills and the bottle says: my cause drowsiness. Well heck, he hopes so LOL!
