Stupidest Product Warnings Ever:
Funny, but maybe a bit scary, too: actual warning labels from consumer goods.
On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. (darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).
On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)
On a bar of Dial soap: "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....)
On some Swanson frozen dinners: "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).
On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh)!
On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding: "Product will be hot after heating." (...and you thought????...)
On packaging for a Rowenta iron: "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time?)
On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)
On Nytol Sleep Aid: "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...I'm taking this because???....)
“DO NOT put any person in this washer” - clothes washing machine warning
Engine manufacturer's warning: "Never use a lit match or open flame to check fuel level."
"Do not dry your cell phone by putting it in a microwave oven."
Warning for lottery ticket holders: “Do not iron.”
Phonebook warning: "Please do not use this directory while operating a moving vehicle."
On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what?)
On a Japanese food processor: "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)
On Sunsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash!)
On an American ! Airlines packet of nuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)
I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one: On a child's superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
On a Swedish chainsaw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals." (...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
On the tag of a reversible jacket: "Wash inside-out" (which way would that be??...)

These warning labels are not as stupid as one would think. Many were put there because some stupid people actually did these things and then sued the manufacturer because there was no warning on the label not to do so.
And that's the rest of the story.

It shows how much thought really

There is a lot of thought that actually goes into the labeling of products and although a lot of it seems pathetic, manufacturers are forced to write these sometimes seemingly stupid things into their documentation.
You have to blame the user, especially the ones who sue and force this. 
I do see the funny side of your post.

These product labels are very comical to most, but they are stated on the products for a reason. Some people will do anything, it seems....... 
I try to avoid product labels and such.......... For those people who are like me..............I tend to try things I'm not supposed to.........for instance.......I hate signs on doors telling me to "Keep Out"...........or "Do Not Enter"............oh my........that curiosity.............
Fun blog, IB4U..........

Almost gone from existance is the two foot A-frame ladder. Perfect for that little extra step,,,, but alas....
The governement requires X amount of labels and warnings, in a X size of minimum type,,,, and it just will not fit anymore. Three foot, or nothing.
I was an expert witness on a case of a ladder accident in Wisconsin. (No slam on anyone from Wisconsin, unless you are this guy,,, then of course,,, you are stupid.)
Monday, 20F high, ladder put on barn to work on barn.
Tuesday, 24F high, ladder put on barn to work on barn.
Wedensday, 47F high, ladder sinks in thawed cow scat that the ladder was in, tilts over, and farmer hits the ground. Sues the ladder company because they did not provide adequate warnings on the ladder. (WHAT, you need to know that cow scat thaws out when the temps go above freezing,,, are you not the cow expert in the room.)
STUPID,,,, but we do it to ourselves by resorting to a jury pool of people who are too stupid to get out of jury duty.
