Warning signs and caution labels are definitely important, but some precautions border on the bizarre. A can of pepper spray warns that contents “May irritate eyes” and sleeping aids carry the warning “May cause drowsiness. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery”. Why? Because people have actually done it, and companies have the settlement claims to prove it. You would think common sense would prevail, but apparently people DO put plastic bags over the heads of children, and people DO eat foods with the aluminum and plastic wrapping still on, and yep, they also try to curl their hair in the shower….
So, there have to be warning labels and signs that spell out in detail what you can’t do. Someone will do it anyway, but it will save the company a lot of money in legal fees if they at least warned us. Without further ado, a collection of some really wacky, strange, and funny warning labels and caution signs:
