oo 1 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 And the winner is: "A washing machine complete with a warning not to put anybody inside has been given an award for the "wackiest warning" by a US lobby group. The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch says the tendency of Americans to sue companies has gone too far, encouraging absurd warning labels on products." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6236585.stm But: Quote: She said other companies had been sued after small children had climbed into washing machines which had then been started. I bet Japan could come up with a few interesting warnings. Link to post Share on other sites

scouser 4 Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Can't remember when it was maybe last summer but there was some vid on youtube of some policeman and his friends playing around - one of them getting in a washing machine and turning it on. For fun. I'm a bit claustrophobic so I wouldn't find that much fun. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Quote: What pray tell might that be? Mixing cement. My toilet - this is in my house - has a huge list of instructions. The last few being the equivelant of "enjoy yourself" and "wash your hands now!" Link to post Share on other sites
