Very unusual product warnings!

the mind boggles.

That made me smile* Fair2Good*.
The mind does indeed boggle 😂.

Obviously there must have been cases of people insisting on reading this book while perched at the top of metal ladders while holding fishing rods too close to power lines, and we all know that you're not meant to hold a long fishing rod too close to a power line.

Can't see the problem, actually. If one person is persuaded not to do that, surely that is a good thing and the warning is justified.

well it has at least made me laugh!

I once saw some fridge magnets in Sainsburys with the warning "Do not inhale"!

Also, on Amazon a small toy hairdryer, aimed at age 18 months + got given a bad review because it didn't dry hair!

The plastic bag my M&S swimsuit came in had large lettering saying 'This is not a toy '. Whoever thought plastic bags were toys?

Our hire car in the US had stickers on the side mirrors stating “objects seen in this mirror are behind you”.

I saw on a fish, that was laid out on a plastic tray, with its mouth and eyes wide open: "This fish is gutted".
It looked it.

Some years ago I bought a bra from M&S and printed on the back of the packaging it said “We recommend that you do not wear for more than eight hours at a time”

😂😂 in case you wanted to sit below a powerline, like a pylon or something. You've got to be careful where you sit these days, you know!
I think it's a general warning for whichever factory they go to for printing and wotnot, and it just goes on everything rather than waste time trying to put it on some but not on others.
I once bought a child's watering can for my indoor plants and we all had a great laugh at 'do not let children play with this'!

😂😂😂

That is a thing!
To give your ladies a rest, stop your shoulders sagging and also, if underwired, a possible cancer warning as they could poke in at awkward places and 'potentially' be a cause of cancer!

I bought a high chair years ago to use in my house when my grandchildren were small. The accompanying instruction leaflet demonstrating the folding mechanism said do not fold this chair with child inside 🤣

Some pushchairs still carry that warning.

Ali08 I hope that was a funny comment not a fact you believe.

I have been wearing M&S underwired bras since they made them . And haven't had any problems with wearing them for longer than 8 hours or any cancer scares. I will be 66 next month.

My mom never wore underwired bras but Playtex ( know that's not spelt correctly but can't remember how its spelt ) all her life had her first mastectomy when she was 73 and second at 86. She lived until she was 90.

do not fold this chair with child inside

(Even if on some occasions you feel like doing so).

😂

Aveline,
did you never try to make your own kite out of plastic bags and string in your childhood? Or find a use for them in crafts? Lol

Oh dear, where has commonsense gone, out the window I think.

🤣🤣🤣

I've always been amused by the instruction on some medicines - "Keep away from children".

A packet of anti-bac cleaning wipes I purchased recently had this warning on the back ' It is illegal to use this product for anything other than the use stated on the packet' It did occur to me it might mean sniffing but they actually don't have a smell. Any ideas?

I had a heat gun meant for paint stripping. It had a warning not to be used as a hair dryer!

Me too. A shame, because I am quite fond of my grandchildren.
