An Inclusive Litany

2/3/01

The first-place winner of the Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch's Wacky Warning Label contest of 2000 is: a pair of bicycle shin guards with a label that read, "Shin pads cannot protect any part of the body they do not cover." Second place: a label on a toilet at a public sports facility in Ann Arbor, Michigan warning, "Recycled flush water unsafe for drinking." Honorable mention: a label on an electric wood router that cautions, "This product not intended for use as a dental drill." A message on a rock garden set reads, "Eating rocks may lead to broken teeth."
