An Inclusive Litany

3/16/98

Winners of the Massachusetts Civil Justice Reform Alliance's "Wacky Warning Label Contest" included "Remember, You Should Not Aim Pepper Spray at Your Eyes," and "Please Do Not Drop an Air Conditioner Out a Window!" A cigarette lighter came with the warning, "Do Not Ignite in Face," and a can of liquid drain cleaner warned, "Do Not Reuse Container for Storing Beverages." The aim of the contest was to underscore the often absurd defensive measures firms must take to avoid frivolous lawsuits.
