I once saw a backpack that said, "If consumed see doctor" in fine print on a label. Pity I wasn't able to get it.
Most pointless warning label
- Thread starter meatloaf231
- Start date
Now, I can understand the need to point out the obvious to avoid the retarded members of the public from suing but...some of it it so obvious that surely it doesn't need a warning for example, the WARNING: CONTENTS ARE HOT on a cup of coffee. I'm guessing that the person who made an issue of this must have been able to feel the heat radiating from the cup when he placed it between his legs and when aquiring it would have probably asked for 'hot coffee'.
Now, for humor.
On a baggage trolly at an airport 'Warning- Cart is heavy and could break bones if crashed into'
On a packet of peanuts- 'warning- may contain nuts'
In most game instruction manuals- 'If you develop the symptoms of a seizure or epilepsy, consult a doctor'

Ah, makes me SO PROUD to be an American! Let's blame everything on everyone else, take no responsibility whatsoever for our actions, and then scream about how we're the greatest country on the face of the planet! Now I'm digressing, but seriously, come on.Lord Krunk said:

Not sure about the first one, but the second is an urban legend. Go to snopes.com for more.Orlana said:
That one I can justify. There's been quite a number of cases reported of children going into seizures due to the graphics in some video games. It should go without saying to consult a doctor, but seizures present themselves in various different ways, ranging from almost unnoticeable, to very blatantly obvious. Unless it's on the extreme end of the spectrum, most people will ignore it, not recognizing that something is actually wrong.Iron Mal said:
My absolute favourite was on the side of a hairdryer which said
WARNING: Do not use while sleeping!
I dont know about any of you but ive never woken up and suddenly found i was doing my hair
A funny fake one ive seen is
WARNING: This sign has sharp edges, do not touch the edges of this sign!

The falling rock signs on the road! What are you supposed to do with that information!? It might as well say 'Lifes a lottery, be lucky!'
In Dublin airport there was a sign on all the escalators - I can't remember the exact wording, but it was along the lines that if you were unfamiliar with using escalators, please don't use these ones. Whether they are particularly advanced escalators, I don't know, since I'm a bit of a cocky bastard when it comes to riding escalators, and navigated these ones with my customary ease.
The dog food I buy says "Not intended for human use" on the packet.
Damn, now what am I going to eat!

Hey this is my first post =]
The "do not consume iPod" label on the iPod shuffle box. That tells me some bugger ate one before =/
The allergy warning on some British egg boxes that says "May contain eggs"
This one isn't pointless or stupid but i cried with laughter when i opened a packet of crisps and on the packet it said "Produced in a factory that handles nuts" ....Who works there? Elton John?

Definitely the warning label on a box of blasting caps I saw while visiting a guy at a coquina quarry. Seriously, a box of TNT needs a warning label?
I hate those "Baby on board" signs you get on cars. I mean how many people were going to ram them off the road untill they saw that sign and went "oh no better not"?
