The sign on the toilet brush says it best: "Do not use for personal hygiene." That admonition was the winner of an anti-lawsuit group's contest for the wackiest consumer warning label of the year.
the goal - "to reveal how lawsuits, and concern about lawsuits, have created a need for common sense warnings on products."
The $500 first prize went to Ed Gyetvai who submitted the toilet-brush label. A $250 second prize went to Matt Johnson for a label on a children's scooter that said, "This product moves when used." A $100 third prize went to Ann Marie Taylor who submitted a warning from a digital thermometer that said, "Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally."
This year's contest coincides with a drive by President Bush (news - web sites) and congressional Republicans to put caps and other limits on jury awards in liability cases.
"Warning labels are a sign of our lawsuit-plagued times," said group President Robert Dorigo Jones. "From the moment we raise our head in the morning off pillows that bear those famous Do Not Remove warnings, to when we drop back in bed at night, we are overwhelmed with warnings."
The leader of a group that opposes the campaign to limit lawsuits admits that while some warning labels may seem stupid, even dumb warnings can do good.
hehe wow look at what our world has come to, for once, thank you Bush, stupid pointless lawsuits by lazy ass americans who want to get the easy way out of earning money while wasting everyone elses time and money. hehe I've said my piece. too bad I thought there would be more creative bogus warning labels...hmmm I bet if we made some up and slyly stuck them to random products in a grocery store nobody would even notice... hmmm I should replace Jammie Kennedy for a week and test this out...hehehehe wow I have posted 2 times in an hour...time to get a life lol.
