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."
