A heat gun and paint remover that produces temperatures of 1,000 degrees and warns users, “Do not use this tool as a hair dryer” has been identified as the nation’s wackiest warning label in M-LAW’s annual Wacky Warning Label Contest.

My favorite from years ago was on an egg carton....

DO NOT EAT SHELL.

When I was 15, I was friends with a girl whose parents were both PHD's. They bought a brand new car and drove it until the engine seized. It never dawned on them to check the dipstick for oil, and apparently when the oil light went on they felt assured!

My long time favorite is on the automobile windshield sunscreens:

"Never drive a vehicle with a sunshade on the windshield"

At the 24 Hour Fitness club where I swim, the locker room is decorated with posters in frames attached to the wall, said posters changed-out every few months to provide inspiration or advertise fitness-related products. The last one was a nice black and white photo of a woman working out, and the single word: "Breathe."

The frame bore a disclaimer sticker warning folks that the information in the poster above was not to be regarded as health or healthy exercising advice. *sigh*

On a Superman Halloween costume:

WARNING: Wearing this does not give you the ability to fly.

I have to confess that I've seen heat guns that look like hair dryers, and have used a hair dryer as a makeshift heat gun. Therefore, I can totally understand that label. However, the cocktail napkin and the knife warning are way out.
