You have been warned

In case you missed it, the annual awards for stupid-but-true warning labels on products include:


A reminder that The Original Off-Road Commode, which of course is a toilet seat that attaches to the rear of your car, is “not for use on moving vehicles.” (Fine. But why would someone want to tow a toilet behind a vehicle in the first place? There is such a thing as being too careful.)

An instruction guide for a wart-removal product: “Do not use if you cannot see clearly to read the information in the information booklet.” (Clearly written by a foreigner, but warts are disgusting. Don’t ever stop anyone from having a go at ’em for any reason.)

A warning on, of all things, a cereal bowl: “Always use this product with adult supervision.” (Don’t laugh. My cousin got decked by a flying cereal bowl once. And yes, he was alone when it happened.)

A diet tip on a 1-by-4-inch LCD screen: “Do not eat the LCD panel.” (OK, but it looks kinda crunchy.)

And finally, a helpful reminder for a bag of livestock castration rings: “For animal use only.” (Hey, there’s nothing funny about that one! It should get first prize in the Best Warning Label Contest, if there was one.)
