Warnings For Dummies
These product warnings and easy instructions seem so
silly that you have to be really dumb and stupid to need them. But the
companies claim that they have enough evidences and anecdotes of dummies
and fools to validate these precautions taken by them. Whatever be the
case, they are fun to read:
- 7 Up, Canada Dry Club Soda and Ballatore Gran Spumante Champagne
warn their users that the contents of their product are under
pressure and the cap of the bottles may blow off causing eye or
other serious injury. Thus, they should be pointed away from face
and people, especially when opening.
- An air-conditioner had a caution printed on it stating that ‘Avoid
dropping air conditioners out of windows’.An instruction on a
blow dryer stated that users were warned not to use it while
sleeping. In fact, White-Westinghouse 1600 Blow Dryer warns the
users to keep it away from water
- Child-sized Superman and Batman costumes had ‘Wearing of
this garment does not enable you to fly’ printed on them.
- Have you ever noticed what’s printed on the bottom of the
Tesco Fruit Juice Carton? It is written – ‘Keep Upright’.
- Japanese Food Processor expressly states that it is not to be
used for anything else.
- Rowenta Iron wisely warns you against ironing your clothes while
wearing them.
- Silk Soy Milk advises their customers to shake well before use
and buy it often too.
- The real gem is what we can see while setting up a computer. If
keyboard is not detected, it asks you to press F1 for help or press
any key to continue.
