product liability

You guys all remember the lady that sued McDonalds a few years ago because her coffee burned her, and she wasn’t warned it was hot. After that I guess a lot of companies decided they needed to cover themselves from product liability. I came across a few of these new product warnings on their products. Here are a few:

• On a bar of Dial soap: Directions: Use like regular soap.
• Swanson frozen dinners: Suggestion: Defrost before eating.
• Marks and Spencer bread pudding: Product will be hot after heating.
• Rowenta Iron: Caution, do not iron clothes on body.
• On a string of Chinese made Christmas lights: For indoor or outdoor use only.
• Sainsbury peanuts warn: May contain peanuts.
• On a swedish made chain saw: Do not stop chain with hand- call you stumpy for the rest of your life.
• On a blanket from Taiwan: Not to be used as protection from a tornado.
• On a motorcycle helmet mounted mirror: Remember, objects in the mirror are actually behind you.
• On the bottle top of a flavored milk drink: After opening, keep upright.

Have you seen any that needs to be added to the list?
