Thanked: 530OH! You know what I want to see a choking warning on?
Condoms.

Thanked: 530"And what exactly happened, Mr. Smith?"
"Well, I was using the chainsaw, and I couldn't get it to stop"
"Well, there's a manual override on the -"
"No, it's stopped now."
"Oh, good, you found the switch"
"Not quite..."
"Then how'd you stop it?"
"I wedged it into my crotch... I think that my urethra and vas deferens managed to tangle up the motor until it turned itself off."
"...That's stupid. Why did you do that?"
"They didn't tell me I shouldn't!"
And that court case might actually fly... They didn't tell me I shouldn't.

Such seemingly ludicrous warnings are not posted for the benefit of users of products, but to protect manufacturers from lawsuits.
The USA has become a VERY litigious (lawsuit driven) society. People will sue individuals as well as corporations at the drop of a hat."Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." Mark Twain

I get a kick out of some warnings. They're there to protect against lawsuits, as mentioned, and let's face it... some people simply aren't the brightest crayons in the knife drawer.
Not exactly a "safety hazard" type warning, but I've also seen:
On a peanut bar, "WARNING: Contains peanuts".
On a frozen dessert, on the BOTTOM of the container, "Do not turn upside down".

Thanked: 530I've seen that dessert warning... It was on a Tiramissu... You look at the bottom of the box and it says Do Not Turn Dessert Upside Down.
Oops.
