Okay is all the silly warnings labels really nessasary?

There are many strange label on about everything. I think that they have to put it on the package of the pacifiers because some dump person did this and they have to make sure that they do not get sued because of a persons stupidity. Therefore, they put it on the label so if it does happen again...they can just tell them that they should have read the labels! That is my explaination....that might not be it, but okay. As for the peanut thing....well, I was looking at the wrapper of a Peanut M&M and realize on the side that it said: Allergy Information: Contains Peanuts, Milk, and Soy Products. May Contain Almonds. Contain Almonds....isn't it suppose to be Peanut M&M's!! LOL Hmmm....here is another one. Not on a package, but on a sign in the entrance of a park. Here is what it said: This is a Nature Park wild life is present. Uh...duh!! :DD

The silliest has to be the warning on the side of a McDonalds coffee cup, caution contents hot - LOL

I can see the pacifier thing. I'm sure they don't mean wrapping a cord around the neck, but maybe putting it on like a necklace so that when they spit it out, it doesn't fall on the floor. But yeah, it doesn't sound like a good idea. Have you seen the warnings on plastic bags not to wrap it around a child's head?

Ok...normally I dont pay attention to warning labels since I have common sence and all, but I will be looking at them now to see if I can find any good ones!!

Yeah , whenever you see a stupid warning you no someone was stupid enough to do it in the first place. Then they probably tried to sue the company, even if the damage done was their own fault. It's even worse when a company has to pay for these lawsuit that they lose. There is always people who are out to grab a buck at someone else's expense. Here in Canada they'll have to put one on the pacifers say " Don't tape to babies mouth" as we have recently had a case of a baby dieing from that very reason. At least the parent was charged, not the makers of the pacifer.

I have not come across any strange warning labels, probably because i dont read them. I think warnings are really silly, i mean, all people know what is good for them and what isnt. And in case of children, all parents know how to care for them, don't they??

I recently saw a warning print on back of a Lotto Ticket. Warning: Do not iron this ticket. Right! Because I commonly like to make sure that my Lotto Ticket does not have any wrinkles on the big night of a drawing!

You would totally love Bill Engvall and the "Here's Your Sign" stuff on CDs. They have a bunch of comedy done about warning labels. Like, "This rubby ducky is not a lifesaving device..." DUH! Hehe. Bleach... Do Not Drink. Umm, yeah. I think the pacifier one, I could unfortunately imagine stupid people doing things like that. I also knew a stupid kid who drank bleach too. In that case though, I think they should just do it and win a Darwin Award.

Unfortunately there are some people that really do need those warnings. Also they are there now that we are a sue happy nation. I have seen the pacifier tied to a string and attached to the clothing of the kid before. So yes these warnings are unfortunately necessary. Sorry to say.

There are lots of silly warnings labels. I think the peanuts warning is really silly. May be it looks silly, but companies have to be careful and they do it for defence. As some people are always ready to sue them for silly reasons.

The problem is that commonsense must have only been given to a few people and not all, some people do the stupidist things and therefore require stupid warnings. The best one ive seen was on a toaster " Do not imerse in water" Well hello the majority of people understand that electricity and water dont mix well, oh i supose it does if you put washing powder and clothes in as well.

I've always loved the directions on a shampoo bottle...Lather, Rinse, Repeat. How many times do you need to do his before your hair is clean? I suppose this way they sell a lot more bottles of shampoo, because people can't get out of the shower! Tooooo busy washing their hair! LOL!!! I love the the peanuts warning, too! Or just a package of mixed nuts... "This product may or may not contain nuts." What am I paying for if it doesn't contain nuts??!!

Well, the fact that you actually saw them, means the warning labels work ! It just acts as a sort of protection for the Companies producing them. So, to users like us we find it stupid, to the companies its only the smart thing to do. Cheers

Ya they are stupid . But as you know there are alot of stupid people in this world and at a blink of an eye try to sue the companies because they wernt warned. The supidest one i saw was peanut warning as well.
