Attention: TDR Forum Junkies 
Thought you guys would get a kick out of this. 
These are excerpts of the 2004 Wacky Warning Label Contest. The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, a group whose goal is to show that the fear of frivolous lawsuits has led to a loss of corporate common sense, sponsors the annual contest for the wackiest warning labels.
First Place Winner: Warning on a bottle of drain cleaner: "If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product. "
Second place: On a snow sled: "Beware: sled may develop high speed under certain snow conditions. "
Third place: On a 12-inch-high storage rack for compact discs: "Do not use as a ladder. "
Fourth place: A 5-inch fishing lure with three nasty steel hooks advises it is "Harmful if swallowed. " Too bad fish can't read!
