Stupid product warnings/statements

So I'm going to bathe the dogs. Looking at the bottle of doggie shampoo right there on it states "This product was not tested on animals."

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?

I love these, sean.

I knew I could find one right here in my office. I had to look no further than the bottle of window cleaner which warns - "unplug all electrical appliances before using."
..Jeez, kind of a tall order, eh?

There's an anti-perspirant commercial here in Canada, that is so bizarre, I have trouble even listing all the things wrong with it, but this is weird:


It shows a man late for a meeting, he begins to run down the street. As he does a robotic dog begins to chase him, at the bottom of the screen it says, 'Do not attempt'.

Attempt WHAT?!?!?!?!?! Running from robot dogs?

The most common side effects reported with Lamisil are gastrointestional disturbances (like stomach ache, diarrhea, nausea), alterations in liver test results, rashes and alterations in taste perception. If you get any of these side effects, you need to tell your doctor at once.

In rare instances, people who took Lamisil have developed a
sometimes fatal liver injury called "liver failure".


The full treatment also costs about 750$

All this so your toenails aren't discolored?

Wear your socks.

Ones I'd like to see....

on a watermelon - "Warning - insertion of watermelon into nostril may result in irregular breathing pattern."

on an umbrella - "Not for internal use."

On a bottle of jack - "Warning - Use of this product may result in divorce, and/ or personal unintentional bladder release."
