[HPFGU-OTChatter] Product Warnings Just Kill Me!

[Cristina Rebelo Angelo]

Does it mean then, since they don't explicitly mention it, that it is okay
to place device in contact with other bodily parts (for instance, to
straighten our wrinkly skin)? And can we use it as a toy if we're kids
("wow, just look at the really neat Lumus trick I can do with my new
wand!")?

Just wondering. From the top of my mind.

  Hi,

  Maybe I'm weird or something, but I just *love* to read the warnings
  they put in new products you buy.  I cannot wait to tear open the
  package and find out how *not* to use the product.  I always find
  myself wondering who on earth is so dumb that they need the warning
  being given.

  I just bought a "flat iron."  This is an electrical device for
  straightening one's hair to achieve the movie star look that is so
  popular these days.  Or, at least, that's what they told me when I
  bought the thing.  ;-)

  It heats to a maximum of 200 degrees, and the heating surface is a
  rectangle about 2.5 inches by 5 inches.  It comes with two warnings
  of interest.  One is in the instructions, and the other was affixed
  to the device itself with a swing tag.  The warning is:

  "WARNING:  Do not place device in contact with your eye."  There is
  a picture of an eye with a sketch of the device, and a red
  circle/line thing cautioning against sticking this scalding device
  in your eye, I guess.

  Uh, OK.  Got it.  :-D

  Is it just the U.S. that has gone warning-crazy, or is this also the
  case in other countries?

  Cindy
