My wife had to get a new hair curling iron. When I went to cut the tags off (she has Wet Macular, has trouble seeing those irritatingly small plastic threads they use), this is what I found!
Some idiot tried to use a hair curling iron to curl their eyelashes! Burnt the heck out of their eyeballs, sued the company, because there was no warning that a hot iron radiated heat, and could singe you precious eyeballs.
The result of modern education, you think?
The second side was almost as bad, have to warn you to keep your precious away from hot things? OMG.

I have marveled at the stupidity not only of the population, but the courts and lawyers ever since the "Great McDonald's Incident!"

I bought a new laptop recently. The box it came in was sealed with tape. Printed on the tape was "Check contents before breaking this seal".

Anyone dumb enough to curl there eyelashes with a hot curling iron probably wouldn't read the warning anyway. ;-)

This only applies to newly registered democrats whose clothes have not dried and as yet an undetermined number of public school graduates.

Nowadays companies have to put these silly warnings on their products to protect themselves from consumer lawsuits. And there are quite a few "professional" lawsuit filers out there who are just looking for little hazards to sue about and get rich fast.

Warnings can go too far though. On a number of occasions I have seen the warning "This product may contain nut traces" on packets of nuts.

Yeah, I laughed at the lady who sued McDonald's, but their coffee has always been very, very hot. One night while on the road I went through the drive-through and ordered coffee with two creams. They handed me the coffee and the creamers. I asked if they would mix that for me, and was told it was "against policy". So I said: "So I am supposed to mix this over my lap instead of you mixing it over your stainless steel counter top" - they said "yes". Maybe THEY could have a little common sense as well...it really didn't seem like I was expecting something unreasonable...
