The Volatile MermaidEvery warning label has an awesome backstory.
Dirty Ducko@OhNoSheTwitnt True in laundry, true in people.
βɛth@OhNoSheTwitnt I want to know who first decided to take a toaster with them into the bath because they just had to have some Pop-Tarts while soaking in some bubbles.

Warning on hairdryer: "Do not use internally" oh, uh huh, I wanna know what happened there

Bernie Luckily Does It@Sedunker @OhNoSheTwitnt Don't tell me you've never wanted to dry your internal hairs.
William Leisner@OhNoSheTwitnt Would really love to know the story behind meds with the instruction "Take orally."
Confiscated Pillow Phone@OhNoSheTwitnt "I’m in a hotel room, I go to the bathroom, there’s a shower cap in a cardboard package. You know what it says on the package? 'Fits one head.' You buy an iron, look at the box, it says 'Warning, do not iron clothes while wearing them.' A carton of pudding: 'Caution: pudding gets hot when heated.' I don’t think we should be giving these warnings. I think we’re interfering with the valuable thinning of the herd."

Ulrich Hoffmann🖖@officialunofficialjdc @OhNoSheTwitnt we use to say „every warning has its story“ 😊
Cocktail Frog@officialunofficialjdc @OhNoSheTwitnt loved that show!
@CocktailFrog @OhNoSheTwitnt It was a crime it got cancelled RIGHT before the Live+7 measurements started. The viewers were there... Nielsen wasn't.
Charles Gaba@OhNoSheTwitnt I don’t know if it’s still there, but the first time my wife & I flew with our then-infant son, there was a big red letter warning on the FAA website reminding parents to take their child out of the baby carrier BEFORE running it through the X-ray machine.

I was flying from Omaha Nebraska to California with a cat and they tried to get me to put it through the X-ray machine, granted this was shortly after 9/11 but I was like no way am I putting the cat through the x-ray machine. It was a huge ordeal. I had to take him out of the Carrier they had to tear the Carrier apart. Made me walk thru the metal detector with him in my arms. It was ridiculous

NanaKim@OhNoSheTwitnt Or a stupid one. Remember McDonald's had to put warning labels on their coffee cups because some hairbrained woman put the hot cup between her legs and burned herself. We should remove warning labels and let Darwinism run its course.
Chrissel@Nanakim @OhNoSheTwitnt Eh, not the best example. She suffered 3rd degree burns, needed skin grafts, and originally only asked them for $20k to cover medical bills. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liebeck_v._McDonald%27s_Restaurants
No Son Of Yours@Nanakim @OhNoSheTwitnt that was actually legit. McDonalds knew their coffee machines brewed it way too hot and figured it was cheaper to pay off people than to replace to coffee machines. https://www.caoc.org/?pg=facts
Frank Verhoeven@OhNoSheTwitnt Every regulation is written in blood.

frank_bough@OhNoSheTwitnt Navy saying : "Behind every regulation is a dead sailor".
HiThoughts@OhNoSheTwitnt I've always wondered about the "no blood" warning on the cardboard FedEx mailers. LOL
Bonnie@OhNoSheTwitnt a Sears lawnmower had a warning against using it to trim hedges
John_G_R_Wilson@OhNoSheTwitnt This warning label must have a Helluva back story. Alabama giving Florida a run for their money.
@OhNoSheTwitnt I got a beach ball once that said Do not Iron. Go figure.
PersonalGenius@OhNoSheTwitnt I always say “they wouldn’t have put it on the label if someone didn’t try to do it”

Jason@OhNoSheTwitnt I was tying into a generator and the warning sticker said "machine may start without notice" and so I made sure a crew member was equipped with a 2x4 and explicit instructions to hit me if I started vibrating.
JL Roberson.@OhNoSheTwitnt That's what I'd thought when I saw the sign saying "DO NOT AMUSE THE PARROT"
.@OhNoSheTwitnt (Yes, real sign)

Mark Mason@OhNoSheTwitnt every bit of red tape has a law at one end and a dead body at the other.

pejacoby@OhNoSheTwitnt As does every clause in apartment leases located near college campuses:
No jumping from balconies
No kegs on balconies
No rollerblading the hallways

I fear why the tub of vegetable shortening says, "not intended for use as a spread"

Smplefy@OhNoSheTwitnt Also, if eating raw cookie dough were actually THAT dangerous, the lawyers would make them use a much bigger font on the label
@OhNoSheTwitnt I want to hear about the mattress tag killer.
Joanna Holman@OhNoSheTwitnt @MardraS I wish I knew the story behind this sign I saw at a wildlife park
