What the Hell is that about. I'm about to use this on an animal, you market it for animals and you never tested it on a damn animal! This is definitely a product that should have been tested on a dog you f-n idiots!
As I write this another stupid comment from commercials comes to mind. "(insert "medication" name) should not be handled by women who are pregnant or may become pregnant..." So unless you've gone through menopause or have had a hysterectomy you should stay clear of it?
What are some more examples of product stupidity?

Your point is well taken, but the two here make sense to me.
The notification on the doggie shampoo is to let you know that no animals were tortured in the testing process. The labs test baby shampoo by putting it in the eyes of animals, to see how much it will burn baby's eyes.
It's shampoo...if you don't get it in your dogs eyes, all should be fine. I don't think they need to test to see if it blinds your dog, just to avoid a lawsuit...Don hit the nail on the head about dumb warnings.
Spackle buckets have a picture of a baby climbing into the bucket, with a big line through it. I guess some idiot let their kid drown in a spackle bucket full of water once. Now, we get to pay a little more for joint compound, because they had to design, and print this logo on every bucket.
The drug that women shouldn't handle, is to shrink an enlarged prostate. They do this by giving female hormones to men. It stands to reason that it could be dangerous to pregnant women.
One of my favorites is the disclaimer at the very end of the commercial for the drug they give for "restless leg syndrome"....
"You may develop a strong urge to gamble, or have sex"
Gonna find me a girl, with shaky legs!
