11 Stupid Legal Warnings


Our lawsuit-obsessed society has forced product manufacturers to cover their "you-know-whats" by writing warning labels to protect us from ourselves. Some are funny, some are absolutely ridiculous, but all are guaranteed to stand up in court.

1. Child-size Superman and Batman costumes come with this warning label: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."

2. A clothes iron comes with this caution: "Warning: Never iron clothes on the body." Ouch!

3. The instructions for a medical thermometer advise: "Do not use orally after using rectally."

4. The side of a Slush Puppy cup warns: "This ice may be cold." The only thing dumber than this would be a disclaimer stating: "No puppies were harmed in the making of this product."

5. The box of a 500-piece puzzle reads: "Some assembly required."

6. A Power Puff Girls costume discourages: "You cannot save the world!"

7. A box of PMS relief tablets has this advice: "Warning: Do not use if you have prostate problems."

8. Cans of Easy Cheese contain this instruction: "For best results, remove cap."

9. A warning label on a nighttime sleep-aid reads: "Warning: May cause drowsiness."

10. Cans of self-defense pepper spray caution: "May irritate eyes."

11. Both boys and girls should read the label on the Harry Potter toy broom: "This broom does not actually fly."

This is true, I'll make a scan and show ya.

They have to be as ridiculously detailed as possible. A woman sued Winnebago recently, after being in a traffic accident with her camper, because noone ever told her she couldn't leave the steering wheel and go to the kitchen to make herself a sandwich while driving. So that's just what she did, and that's how she got in that car accident.

So yeah, no legal disclaimer is too retarded for some people.

These are designed for the many idiots in the world so they won't sue the manufacturer when they get hurt, destroy property or worse. Anyway Batman cannot fly except in the Batman Beyond arc but that's a different story and timeline.

Not having your hands on the steering wheel should probably be classed as dangerous driving, and I hope to god that case was thrown out of court.

There are warnings on most vehicles about cruise control in the owners manual, the idiot just didn't take the time to read it.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

"Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals." is present on some Husqvarna chainsaws.

And then there's this one:

 

[Veho]

And then there's this one:

Aw come on! That can't be real!

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

Veho: Yeah, I thought that too,
until I heard of the practice of 'urethral sounding'.

 

[Veho]

...until I heard of the practice of 'urethral sounding'.

Oh, I've heard of that... medical procedure

... before, I just didn't think there'd be an actual warning on a pack of screwdrivers advising against it.
















...what? It's a medical procedure too, you know.

 

[FAST6191]

Not a recent one or one I indeed greet in the same way as those above but my favourite:
Grape juice and similar items during prohibition in the US, warnings on the side included instructions on storing so as not to ferment it.

edit:"On pantyhose:
Not to be used in the commission of a felony."
Misdemeanour here I come.

The shampoo warning is hilarious

Somebody make a Youtube Poop based on the Taiwanese shampoo.

I heard some woman spilled coffee on her lap and sued McDonalds for it. And that's why they have those "Caution" warnings on the cups.

EDIT: I googled it and it seems McDonalds was also at fault.

Sorry but could not find one on SEX toys to satisfy your needs

 

[tj_cool]

hmmm, I'm so hungry today. Lets see what I can eat... Wow that Ipod sure looks tasty

 

[Law]

EDIT: I googled it and it seems McDonalds was also at fault.

How so?

Well obviously the coffee was too hot!

But in all seriousness, the woman was stupid for trying to drive whilst drinking the coffee at the same time.
