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."
