Wacky warning label takes prize
==========================


Have We as a World Just Gone Crazy or What!
-------------------------------------------





NOVI, Mich. -- It is a warning label that may seem perfectly logical -- to fish: A 12-cm fishing lure with three nasty steel hooks advises it is "Harmful if swallowed." If only carp could read.

The label took fourth place in the seventh annual Wacky Warning Label Contest. But organizers of the contest, the Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, say it highlights the lengths to which manufacturers will go in order to avoid lawsuits stemming from misuse of consumer products.

SIGN OF TIMES

"Wacky warning labels are a sign of our lawsuit-plagued times," said Robert Dorigo Jones, president of the nonprofit group working to raise public awareness of how the explosion in litigation is harming the country.

JUST 'CLUMSY'

"It used to be that if someone spilled coffee in their lap, they simply called themselves clumsy. Today, too many people are calling themselves an attorney."

Taking first prize last week was a warning found on a bottle of drain cleaner. The label reads: "If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product."

Second prize went to a man who sent in a label on a snow sled: "Beware: sled may develop high speed under certain snow conditions."

Hi fivesixseven


Nice to meet You

Welcome to SG


Yes it has gotten ridiculous as to the lengths Manufacturers have been forced to go to in order to avoid costly Litigation.

One would think common sense in the Justice system would emerge to quell this type of incident.


Have a Good one & Thanks for your reply
