Since Stella's famous law suit against McDs they now print on their coffee lids something to the effect of "Warning contents may be hot!"

and lawn mowers that have the warning "do not insert feet or hands while machine is running!" on the edge of the mower's platform.
 
24. On packaging for a Rowenta iron:
DO NOT IRON CLOTHES ON BODY.

I had a boss, normally level-headed, who tried to dry a wet spot on her blouse with,

I remember the one that came with lawn mowers. It was a warning not to try to trim hedges with it. :shr:
