Silly Warnings on Packages, or side effects that outweight the benefits. Post here.

Read the following....
"Signs of indiviual sensitivity which may occur after use of this product include skin irritation or hair loss at use site, salivation, tremors, twitching of the muscles, and in some cases, severe full body tremors. Users should be observed for any signs of sensitivity. If signs arise, wash with large amounts of soap and warm water. And contact help immediatly."

However you Cat will be free from fleas.... YIKES!

Almost makes me wonder if the cat is better off with fleas, then chancing the "signs of indiviual sensitivity".

Kind of like the commericals for RX's... "may cause nausea, stomach cramps, headaches, foot pain, leg swelling, rotten breath, hair loss, eye twitches, heart attacks, sweating, etc..." all to stop you from having heart burn... lol!

Anyone else have any funny examples of extreme side effects, where maybe the good might not outweigh the bad?

How about funny warnings... like "Do Not Iron Clothes while on body" or "Do Not submerse Hair Dryer in the tub" or "Do Not turn upside down (on the bottom of the box)".....

I like the one for Viagra/Levitra:

"If you have an (you know--insert favorite word) for more than 3 hours, seek medical help immediately." That one always cracks me up!

Or how about the one for that diet pill Xenical:

"You may experience an oily discharge when taking this medication."

Oh yeah, that sounds good. Sign me up!

There are warnings on several products (potato chips made with that "special" oil, and candies and other products made with sugar alcohols) that warn that over consumption can have a laxative effect. Right. Let's eat these.

I actually took those in one of my efforts to lose weight and let me tell you....the warning is a valid one!!!! As long as you didn't eat foods high in fat you were fine...but have ONE thing high in fat oh boy was that trouble LOL!!!

A lot of food products will say "Manufactured in a facility that processes peanuts", as an allergy precaution, right. I have a jar of dry roasted PEANUTS that has that warning on it!!!!

 

[Disney Doll]

I have always liked the "Caution: Coffee may be hot".

Thanks lady who sued McDonald's for her own stupidity and won!

 

[isyne4u]

I have a problem with going to the hospital for a surgery and having to sign a paper listing possible complications...ending with "Death". Maybe its just me but death doesn't sound like "just" a complication!

On a hair dryer: Do not use while sleeping

If *it's* there for constant 3 hours (with no breaks if you know what I mean) well then, apparently, that's a problem.

We had a custom stained glass bow window put in our house a few years ago. On each window was a sticker that said:

WARNING: CHILDREN CAN'T FLY



I also like the warning that goes along with "if it lasts longer than 3 hours"..."don't take if you have heart trouble"

One of the warnings on my PMS medication states: Do not use if you have an enlarged prostate. Um, if I had a prostate to woory about, I don't think I would need PMS medicine!
