These are the three wackiest warning labels, as determined this year by Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, which swears these are not made-up.
#1 on a DC player: "Do not use the Ultradisc2000 as a projectile in a catapult."
#2 on a log: "Caution -- Risk of Fire."
#3 on a box of birthday candles: "DO NOT use soft wax as earplugs or for any other function that involves insertion into a body cavity." |

I remember some poorly translated instructions:
On a knife, from Japan (possibly a Ginsu, but I don't think so): Not for use for the other use.
On a cleaning spray: For internal or external use. |

From http://www.sdcala.org/Warning.html :
On a helmet mounted mirror used by U.S. cyclists:
REMEMBER, OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR ARE ACTUALLY BEHIND YOU
On a Taiwanese shampoo:
USE REPEATEDLY FOR SEVERE DAMAGE
On a child's superman costume:
WARNING DOES NOT ENABLE YOU TO FLY
On a hotel provided shower cap in a box:
FITS ONE HEAD

I could say something about that shower cap, but I won't. I'll be good. |

Several years ago, I bought a canvas cover for my BBQ gas grille. On the package label for the cover, it read, "Does not include grille."
My wife still says I should have sent it in to Letterman. |

My microwave oven came with several pages worth of warnings, including various warnings about exploding food and my favorite: Do not use the oven as a night light.  |

The owners manual that comes with my iron (a Rowenta) states:
Never iron clothes while wearing them.

| I don't remember who, but I remember an NFL player got serious burns a few years ago when he tried to iron his dockers while wearing them. |
