January 4, 2007
WARNING: THIS BOOK MAY CAUSE HYSTERICAL LAUGHTER. In the hallowed literary tradition of The Darwin Awards and Headlines comes this mind-boggling collection of the most outrageous warning labels ever slapped onto perfectly good products. Before you try to dry your hair with a blowtorch or iron a shirt while you're wearing it, read this hilarious collection of crazy caveats. You'll be surprised how far frightened manufacturers (and their lawyers) must go these days to protect themselves from frivolous lawsuits!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great coffee table book!, April 1, 2007

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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and sad at the same time., July 12, 2010

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.
