Best warning label I ever saw was so simple and matter of fact. Seen on drums of 50% Toluene + 50% MEK we were buying to clean adhesive dispensing equipment. A simple yellow label with black block letters -

WARNING - BREATHING VAPORS MAY CAUSE DEATH.

I'd say that one was accurate and to the point...
When I do training, one of the prime examples we use is the product we call

Methyl ethyl death

Kinda covers a wide range, and most students get the point.

We also tend to send Hazwaste to the land of "Away". Good place not to live.
