Dumbest Product Warnings??
I've gotta go with the one for birth control pills -- i.e. that they don't prevent STDs.

1. On lawnmowers: CAUTION: ROTATING BLADES.
Or on fish hooks (really!): CAUTION: SHARP!

3. I have a curling iron that--no joke--says:
"Do not use ON eyes."

It's a big, fat barrel, too, even if one was ignorant to try it, it wouldn't go around.

It was a cheapie, bought in an emergency to get ready for one of my bridesmaid stints, and I've kept it all these years because it's so damn funny.

6. On a window screen
"This screen will not prevent a child from falling out the window."

On the new roof coating we just got in: "Not for use on driveways."

On a flea collar: "Do not eat."
