This cracks me up. The manuals are notorious for not really explaining stuff, but the writer felt it was important to add this bit of advice or did some corporate lawyer come up with this. Still got a chuckle out of it.

Well actually that depends on how much you consume.....the blood thinner Warfarin (Coumadin) is made from the same chemical found in "Rat Poison" and the dosages are controlled to thin you blood to a certain INR range.

My new D5300 has the same warning.

Lol, no. ... but when I started out in refrigeration over forty years ago, I left my adjustable wrench / spanner in a freezer at -80*c / -112*f and as the bell for break sounded I gingerly put my tongue against it - I knew my tongue would stick to it but I wasn't prepared for what happened next. My tongue froze on the bare metal; "I'll just wait a while" I thought - seconds turned to minutes and my tongue began freezing more and more, so I decided to wrench the wrench from my tongue. My tongue and the wrench parted company - almost. Part of my tongue decided it liked the close proximity of the wrench so much that it decided to stick with it.
I didn't realise so much blood was in my tongue, just waiting to escape :(
I only did it the once and felt no need to put a warning sticker either on the -112*f freezer or the wrench, as I thought this was a much needed life skill which ought to be learned by as many people as possible :) :) :)

I also think that the batteries I bought for my Nikon had the warning not to put them in your mouth or swallow them. That would be quite a mouthfull.

Many manuals in all fields are bloated with idiotic warnings, probably as a result of bogus liability lawsuits.
A friend showed me his new firearm and it had warnings engraved on the side about safety precautions.

The lady that sued McDonalds for the scalding coffee in her lap was, in the end, awarded sufficient monetary compensation to pay her medical bills for the skin grafts required. Perhaps, McDonalds should put a warning label on the inside of their car service window warning employees NOT TO PASS SCALDING LIQUIDS THROUGH CAR WINDOWS!
As to the rest of the liability horror stories listed here, most would be shown to be hoaxes if we subjected them to "Urban Legend" scrutiny.
