Best Stupid Warning Labels Winner Gets CFM+ 5.9L Intake Manifold (Ends: May 25, 2012)

[TDRadmin]

* * * ENDING DATE ADJUSTED TO May 31 due to TDR Staff Member Error. Thread was accidentally locked to posts from May 9 - 11, 2012 due to a clerical error. So contest date is being extended through May 25, 2012. I apologize for our error.



CFM+ is a high-tech engineering company with a patented manufacturing process that allows them to produce one-piece hollow structures from high-temperature structural composite materials. Similar composite materials are used to make engine parts for a number of race applications as well as for high-end stock automobiles like the Corvette LS Series and in turbo charged vehicles. Composite materials are used in these applications due to their insulative properties which allows them to avoid the heat sink that occurs with similar parts cast from aluminum. All CFM+ Intake Manifolds are manufactured in the United States.



We'd like to thank CFM+ for sponsoring our latest giveaway - a CFM+ Intake Manifold. What do you have to do to win? This one is easy and fun. Simply post the stupidest warning label you've seen recently.



Extra points will be awarded to those of you creative enough to find a stupid warning label involving fuel, diesel fuel, trucks or anything automotive.



Good luck, and most of all, have fun!



Correction: Since the contest was extended due to website issues, the final entries will be made on Friday, May 25. Winner will be selected by CFM+ and posted just as quickly as possible after the contest closes.

Warnings



In this lawsuit happy country we live in, nobody wants to take responsibility for their own actions. Somebody can spill a cup of coffee on their lap and get millions while a soldier can lose a leg and get a pat on the back and a purple heart. Here at Hamilton cams we have a call to responsibility for you, the would be buyer of our components. Diesels are fun to play with, they are also dangerous. Keep this in mind when you have your hand in front of an open turbo of a running truck. If it gets cut off it is YOUR fault, not the person who designed the turbo without an idiot guard. We at Hamilton Cams work hard to make our products as safe as we can, as they are no more dangerous than most any part out there today. However there is somebody out there that will find a way to hurt themselves with our products.



To help keep all of the fingers on the token Nimrod in the Diesel community.

•Please, only have our products installed by qualified professionals wearing proper safety equipment

•Make sure safety glasses and gloves are worn when installing valve springs and other dangerous components.

•Only use the quality name brand valve spring compressors to install springs ie. Snap-on, Mac, Cornwell, OTC, or Craftsmen.

•Please don't inhale paint, snort controlled substances, smoke marijuana, drink alcohol, or abuse prescription medicines while operating or installing our components.

•Keep your eyes on the task at hand and off of your girlfriend

•Although our products can greatly reduce exhaust emission due to greater airflow , they are all off-road/race products meant for off highway use.

•Our products are only guaranteed to be free of defects when they are purchased. If you run out of oil and gall your cam, be a big-boy and take one on the chin. Don't cry to us that it's broke. If your cylinder head has many cracks from overheating, stick your chin way out there, you earned it!

•Because our customers use our products in a very wide range of applications, there is no way that we can engineer a product that will work in every application under the sun. If you heavily modify our products or products that work with ours, and push them to the limit, accept the consequences when they fail.

•We are not responsible for the damage of our parts or any related damage from the failure of our parts. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. If you are not willing to accept this, don't buy our products.

•If you are reselling our products it is your responsibility to pass this on to your customers.

•And when racing remember, if you are dumb you have to be tuff!



If you are still reading, I hope you enjoy our products. I have put a lot of time and effort into their design, and believe that they are the best in the industry! Thank you for considering us for your performance diesel needs. We are honored to serve you

It literally states that everything is "known to the state of California to cause cancer or other reproductive harm"

According to California, "Warning-living causes death".

According to California, "Warning-living causes death".

Not to get off topic, but life does yield a 100% mortality rate and is the leading cause of death! :-laf
