Actual Label Instructions and Product Warnings
Part I
In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through
stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.
You have been warned...
On a Swedish chain saw:
"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
In a US guide to setting up a new computer:
"To avoid condensation forming, allow the boxes to warm up to room temperature
before opening." (Sensible, but the instruction was INSIDE the box.)
On a packet of Sunmaid raisins:
"Why not try tossing over your favorite breakfast cereal?"
On a Korean kitchen knife:
"Warning keep out of children."
On a Taiwanese shampoo:
"Use repeatedly for severe damage."
On the bottle-top of a (UK) flavored milk drink:
"After opening, keep upright."
On a blanket from Taiwan:
"Not to be used as protection from a tornado."
On a Japanese product used to relieve painful hemorrhoids:
"Lie down on bed and insert poscool slowly up to the projected portion
like a sword-guard into anal duct. While inserting poscool for approximately
5 minutes, keep quiet."
On a can of insect spray:
"Kills all kinds of insects! Warning: this spray is harmful to bees."
A different brand of insect spray:
"Kills flies, wasps, mosquitoes, midges, and other flying insects. Not
tested on animals."
On an ocean buoy for determining the position of submarines:
"Protect from seawater."
On a packet of juggling balls:
"This product contains small granules under 3 millimeters. Not suitable
for children under the age of 14 years in Europe or 8 years in the USA."
Seen on a camera:
"This camera only works when there is film inside."
On a can of windscreen de-icing spray:
"Spray works in sub-zero temperatures."
