CAUTIONARY TALES
Frivolous lawsuits are great for devious lawyers and
warning-label writers. The Wacky Warning Label Contest, conducted by
the Michican Lawsuit Abuse Watch, celebrates both parties. This year's
winners.
4th Place: A five-inch fishing lure with three steel hooks cautions
users that it is "harmful if swallowed."
3rd Place: A warning label found on a 12-inch-high storage rack for
compact discs reminds purchasers: "Don not use as a ladder."
2nd Place: The label on one snow sled is very adamant:
"Beware: Sled may develop high speed under certain snow conditions."
And Grand Prize Winner: Warning label found on a bottle of drain
cleaner: "If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions,
cautions and warnings, do not use this product."
