Remove Child Before Folding

In the tradition of The Darwin Awards and Headlines comes a collection of the 101 stupidest warning labels ever plastered on actual products, and the frivolous lawsuits that resulted from them REMOVE CHILD BEFORE FOLDING - A warning label put on an actual baby stroller, ostensibly because without such caution parents might crush their children and sue the stroller company for making a defective product. For years, the Michigan anti-lawsuit watch group M-LAW has held their yearly 'Wacky Warning Label' contest (this year's winner: a toilet brush whose maker warned, 'Do Not Use For Personal Hygiene'), in order to highlight the silliest labels ever pasted on actual appliances. REMOVE CHILD BEFORE FOLDING offers the 101 most ludicrous, silly and just plain stupid warning labels ever slapped onto perfectly good products, as well as some of the lawsuits that resulted from them. So before you drop that hairdryer in the bathtub, read these warnings: 'This Product Moves when Used' (from a popular child's scooter), 'Once used rectally, this thermometer should not be used orally' ('nuff said), 'Harmful if swallowed' (from a brass fishing lure with a three-pronged hook), 'May Irritate Eyes' (from a can of self-defense pepper spray).

In the hallowed literary tradition of The Darwin Awards and Headlines comes this mind-boggling collection of the most outrageous warning labels ever slapped onto perfectly good products. Before you try to dry your hair with a blowtorch or iron a shirt while you're wearing it, read this hilarious collection of crazy caveats. You'll be surprised how far frightened manufacturers (and their lawyers) must go these days to protect themselves from frivolous lawsuits!
