It's the winners of the annual Wacky Warning Label Contest!!

Relevant bits of linked article:

Jan. 6, 2005  |  Detroit -- The sign on the toilet brush says it best: "Do not use for personal hygiene."

That admonition was the winner of an anti-lawsuit group's contest for the wackiest consumer warning label of the year.

The sponsor, Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, says the goal is "to reveal how lawsuits, and concern about lawsuits, have created a need for common sense warnings on products."

The $500 first prize went to Ed Gyetvai, of Oldcastle, Ontario, who submitted the toilet-brush label. A $250 second prize went to Matt Johnson, of Naperville, Ill., for a label on a children's scooter that said, "This product moves when used."

A $100 third prize went to Ann Marie Taylor, of Camden, S.C., who submitted a warning from a digital thermometer that said, "Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally."

(that black bar there came over with my paste and I can't seem to get rid of it.  odd.)

My favorite was always my brother's Lego bucket - a square plastic Lego bucket, 'bout a foot high - that said "do not use as a bicycle helmet".

I like my sweater box warning stickers: They have the universal icon for NOT FOR BABY STORAGE on them.
