Stupid Labels

[manc]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In case you needed further proof that the human race
is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label
instructions on consumer goods.

On a McDonalds Coffee Cup:
....Caution Contents May be Hot
(I would be pretty upset if it wasn't)

On a Sear's hairdryer:
...Do not use while sleeping.
(damn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos:
...You could be a winner! No purchase necessary.
Details inside.
(the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Dial soap:
"Directions: Use like regular soap."
(and that would be how???....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners:
"Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's "just" a suggestion.)

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom):
"Do not turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:
"Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
"Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me more time?)

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine:
"Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could
just get those 5-year-olds with head colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid:
"Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights:
"For indoor or outdoor use only."
(as opposed to...what?)

On a Japanese food processor:
"Not to be used for the other use."
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts:
"Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash I was expecting raisins)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts:
"Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

On a child's superman costume:
"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw:
"Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(Oh my God...was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

no i disagree
people became more intelligent
these labels are there because companys are sick of getting sued

[goodcents]

On heat guns (the ones used to heat shrink and remove paint) , they put a warning "do not use to dry hair"

Thanks for the laughs

If that's a joke...

If not, get rid of those NOW girl. A client of mine was telling me when she sold her old home, she put bounce sheets over the vents in her home so the air would have a fresh smell to it. Her kids started to get bloody noses at night and one even got a lung infection.

The doc said those things are full of toxins and are very bad to even have around. As soon as she got rid of them, all was well.

Drop those like a bad habit.

Open package..eat nuts



Mcdonalds had to put the coffee one on there cuz some1 sued cuz the coffee was "too hot"..they put it in their lap while they were driving w/o a lid and it burned them. Well no shit dumbass..

[goodcents]

Dryer sheets are perfect for getting rid of static on plastic items. Example, new powder measures (for reloading cartridges) stick powder on the plastic sides till the graphite coats it, but a quicker way is to rub the inside and out with a dryer sheet- no more sticking powder

I remember that, it was a women in the 80's (I think) and she was awarded 1 million dollars.

[goodcents]

The lady that spilled the coffee was stupid, but she won because she did prove that mcdonalds kept their coffee at a much higher temp than other restaurants did in order to keep it hot longer. All she had to prove was that they knowingly made the coffee hotter than was normal, which her attorneys did.

Awarding idiots is the bane of this country's existence.

that is the best one hehe

That woman who sued McDonalds was horrifically scarred, like her genitals were ruined. The coffee was WAY above serving temperature for coffee and i think sh e wasn't able to have sex for a year or something. so it wasnt as ridiculous as it first sounds

MCDONALD'S COFFEE CASE --- What Are The Facts?





The now infamous case of a lawsuit against the McDonald's Corporation for serving dangerously hot coffee generated an extraordinary amount of public outcry. Everytime I question potential jury members before a trial, I always hear the same thing. The potential jurors all say that the civil justice system is out of control and the refer to the McDonald's case. Then when I question them as to what they really know about the case, again, I always hear the same thing. All they know is that a jury awarded $2.7 million in damages to some little old lady who spilt coffee on herself while driving away from McDonald's drive through line. Unfortunately, just about none of this is what happened. Here are the facts:

Fact #1 - For years McDonalds served their coffee up to 40 degrees hotter than other fast food restaurants. In this way, they could get more coffee per pound of beans and increase their profits by a few cents per cup.

Fact #2 - McDonald's coffee was so hot that, if spilled, it could cause third degree burns, which would burn through skin and down to the muscle in less than three seconds.

Fact #3 - McDonald's has had over 700 previous claims related to serious burns from their coffee to their customers, many of whom had been injured in the genital area, inner thighs, and buttocks areas. Yet, McDonald's refused to lower the temperature of their coffee.

Fact #4 - The injured (burned) plaintiff in this case, 79 year old Stella Lieback, was not driving her car. She was seated as the passenger in her grandson's parked car, holding the coffee cup between her legs while removing the plastic lid. The cup tipped over and poured the scalding hot coffee into her lap causing third degree burns.

Fact #5 - Mrs. Lieback required eight days of hospitalization and multiple surgeries, including skin grafts as a result of being scalded by McDonald's coffee.

Fact #6 - Mrs. Lieback only took legal action against McDonald's after they refused to reimburse her for her medical expenses.

Fact #7 - The jury was so outraged at the arrogance and callousness of McDonald's that they awarded punitive damages, to punish McDonald's and to deter McDonald's from such conduct in the future. They awarded $2.7 million.

Fact #8 - The day after the verdict, McDonald's reduced the temperature of their coffee.

Fact #9 - The trial judge thought the verdict was too high and reduced the verdict to about $400,000 at McDonald's request. (This is one fact that the insurance lawyers and McDonald's corporate lawyers never mention.)
