To be fair on the people who wrote those - some people really are that stupid!

You missed a few gems


On the side label of a bottle of Tesco Milk. Warning: Contains Milk


Recently Cadbury recalled some easter egg products as they didn't have correct nut allergy warnings. Including "Dairy Milk Fruit and Nut Easter Egg 445g" I wonder how many people didn't know that had nut traces in it.

Or how about in hotel bathrooms you have a massive yellow sign saying hot water could be hot. Well I hope it is!

To be fair,I think major companies have to be very belt and braces about these things because this world of ours is becoming so litigation focussed , another thing we can thank the bloody yanks for.

like in that top gear special someone wanted to sue clarkson because he was a year out on the age of his camaro

[MJ]

Oh yeah, they're only doing it to protect their backs, but it's still funny

[Cornholio]

I know this is a bit different, but it does remind me of that bit from "So long, and thanks for all the fish".

To paraphrase: "When Wonko saw the instructions on a packet of toothpicks, he became convinced that the world had gone crazy".
