Remove your child before folding a baby stroller. That piece of advice won top prize in the Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch's Wacky Warning Label Contest of 1998. Runners up included a warning on a bottle of sleeping pills that they may cause drowsiness, and another on a laser printer cartridge warning that toner is inedible.

[Ed.: Another package for a Rowenta iron warns: "Do not iron clothes on body." A package of bread pudding warns: "Product will be hot after heating." With some of these labels, it's unclear just who is being stupid. A bar of Dial soap advises: "Use like regular soap." A Japanese food processor warns: "Not to be used for the other use." A hotel shower cap: "Fits one head." A bag of Fritos declares: "You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside." And a box of Christmas lights specifies: "For indoor or outdoor use only."]
