Wacky Warning Labels - Page 16

sunspot · 05-21-2008, 10:18 AM

I just bought my wife a portable DVD player. One of the warnings was, I swear, "Do not drive nail into battery pack".
Recken someone has a loose pack and a handy nail?

From my Kubota L48 operator's manual:
CAUTION To avoid personal injury:
Be sure to stop the engine before changing the oil

Sign on the property of one of my wife's clients:

"If you can read this, you're in range."

(A few buckshot holes in it, for effect.)

Warning label on a bottle of sleep aid pills:

"Warning: May cause drowsiness."

One would hope they cause drowsiness. However I have seen a prescription warning on a sedative that said it could cause iritability and nervousness! go figure..

My 2-year-old was having a hard time falling asleep after we moved her to a big-girl-bed. We gave her a dose of benadryl for her "allergies" hoping that it would cause drowsiness.

It had just the opposite affect. That was a fun 4 hours of one silly, hyper, happy little girl who would just not fall asleep.

I guess that all things do not affect all people the same.

I believe I remember reading that benadryl can cause excitabiltiy in children..

A spoonful of sugar will help the medicine go down.

Actually you can mix some syrup or several spoons full of sugar in some orange juice and mix with the benadryl.

That is correct. Not an issue with most. But it is with some and its particularly annoying since it usually gets used to achieve sleep and not bouncing off the walls.

I had heard that too before the experience. At that point it was worth a try, though. The girl really did have mild seasonal allergies, so the doctor said. We just hadn't really felt it was bad enough previous to that to give her anything for it.

She's kind of a hyper one anyway, so I should have known. She sure was fun for that few hours.

On a Swedish chainsaw -

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO STOP CHAIN WITH YOUR HANDS OR GENITALS.

(What kind of consumer phone-call led to this warning?)
