On Lion & Tiger enclosures at zoos, signs that read something like:
"Warning these animals may bite. Do not attempt to climb into the enclosure or put any part of your body through the fence"
I would not call that label pointless. Most of those warnings are "Do not step beyond the safety rail or go near the cage." It may sound pointless at first look, but there are many tourists and children, especially, that climb over the railing or go nearer to the enclosure to have their picture taken. All it serves to do is irritate and stress the animal. Then you have cases like the tourist who sat next to a panda exhibit and subsequently lost his jacket when the panda ran over and grabbed him, or the child who fell into the gorilla cage. More recently there were some teenagers who went into a tiger exhibit at night for one dumb reason or another and the tiger of course attacked them - the tiger being the one who was shot down and killed because it got free due to the teens.
So yes, I do not find that one pointless.
Someone brought up the "Seizure" label on games far earlier in the thread. I find that that label is fairly important as well. Many people do not know they will have issues with the fast action and blinking lights. Some don't think much about it. I actually appreciate the epilepsy label on Nintendo packages, which go into far more detail of the symptoms than Sony or Microsoft.
I personally enjoy the American Halloween hang-noose label: "This product is not to be used to hang family, friends, or humans, pets, animals, or any living being." Which was more recently enforced, I had found through a friend, because some child in America attempted to pull a stunt of hanging himself to scare others, then died when people thought he was acting.
