Example of funny, even ludicrous warnings manufacturers put on their products. One of the rare benefits of ‘political correctness’ – more humour.

Strange Instructions
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 packaging for a clothes iron:
‘Do not iron clothes on body’.
(But wouldn’t this save me more time?)
On a Myer hairdryer:
‘Do not use while sleeping’.
Playing Like the Devil?
I noticed this warning in the user manual of an acoustic guitar.
“The instrument can catch fire, and earthquakes can cause it to fall if stored in a high location.”
Amusing if slightly alarming in the UK.
