This review is from: Remove Child Before Folding: The 101 Stupidest, Silliest, and Wackiest Warning Labels Ever (Paperback)
I first read this at my friend's house a few months ago and thought it was pretty funny. It's a great little book for your coffee table. Now I find myself reading warning labels on products all the time, to see if I can find any funny ones like the labels mentioned in this book!

This review is from: Remove Child Before Folding: The 101 Stupidest, Silliest, and Wackiest Warning Labels Ever (Paperback)
Bob Dorigo Jones is the founder of M-Law, a lawsuit watch group in Michigan that sponsors the yearly 'Wacky Warning Labels' contest. I heard about the current contest on television and thought this book might be fun.
It is. In fact, it is very, very funny - until you realize that lawyers and really stupid people have brought us to the point of needing these warning labels at all. For example, the label on the iron-on T-shirt decal in a box of cereal warns "Caution: Do not iron while wearing shirt". Duh . . . Or how about the label on a box containing slippers named the same as a regional culinary delicacy: "Do not eat". It is not clear, says the author, whether the warning applies to the box or the slippers. A snow thrower - you know, those good sized machines that blow snow off your sidewalks and driveways carries a stern warning: "Do not use snow thrower on roof". Okay, you get the picture. There are about 100 of these in the book and all of them are doozies and will leave you laughing - and maybe shaking your head in sadness that such warnings are needed at all. Jerry

This book is okay. I thought it would have been better, but for a cheap book, its not bad.
