Mlaw has announced its annual wacky warning label awards:
A label on a small tractor that warns, “Danger: Avoid Death,” has been chosen as the nation’s most obvious warning label in M-LAW’s annual Wacky Warning Label Contest.
The Wacky Warning Label Contest, now in its eleventh year, is conducted by Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, M-LAW, to reveal how lawsuits, and fear of lawsuits, have driven the proliferation of common-sense warnings on U.S. products. …
second place: “Do not iron while wearing shirt.” …
third place: a label on a baby-stroller featuring a small storage pouch that warns, “Do not put child in bag.” …
Honorable mention for a warning label on a letter opener that says: “Caution: Safety goggles recommended.” …
Another honorable mention for a warning found on Vanishing Fabric Marker which cautions users:
“The Vanishing Fabric Marker should not be used as a writing instrument for signing checks or any legal documents.”

I bought a new wallet last week, and it had this label:
WARNING! Do not leave unattended while Congress is in session.
