WARNING: DON’T DO ANYTHING IF YOU ARE A STUPID IDIOT

A group called the Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch which tries to protect victims of lawsuit abuse has released the winners of their Tenth Annual Wacky Warning Label contest. This year’s winning label was found on a washing machine which warned “Do not put any person in this washer.” Second place was found in the instructions of a personal watercraft which advised “Never use a lit match or open flame to check fuel level,” and third place was a tie between a lottery ticket which was imprinted with the warning “Do not iron” and a cell phone which carried a sticker which read “Don’t try to dry your phone in a microwave oven.” Honorable mention went to a label on the back cover of a phone book which warned “Please do not use this directory while operating a moving vehicle.” (Mlaw.org)
