Editorial Review:
REMOVE CHILD BEFORE FOLDING - A warning label put on an actual baby stroller, ostensibly because without such caution parents might crush their children and sue the stroller company for making a defective product. For years, the Michigan anti-lawsuit watch group M-LAW has held their yearly 'Wacky Warning Label' contest (this year's winner: a toilet brush whose maker warned, 'Do Not Use For Personal Hygiene'), in order to highlight the silliest labels ever pasted on actual appliances. REMOVE CHILD BEFORE FOLDING offers the 101 most ludicrous, silly and just plain stupid warning labels ever slapped onto perfectly good products, as well as some of the lawsuits that resulted from them. So before you drop that hairdryer in the bathtub, read these warnings: 'This Product Moves when Used' (from a popular child's scooter), 'Once used rectally, this thermometer should not be used orally' ('nuff said), 'Harmful if swallowed' (from a brass fishing lure with a three-pronged hook), 'May Irritate Eyes' (from a can of self-defense pepper spray).

great as a gift 2008-04-22
Hilarious!
I originally bought this for myself and liked it so much that I bought 2 more as Christmas gifts.


Disappointing 2007-08-01
Don't waste your bucks on this book. Though it had potential, it turned out to be no more than a collection of product warning labels with occasional thin commentary.


Stupid Warning Labels 2007-05-20
This is a cute book, but I found myself wanting more after I had read it. It "felt" incomplete, but how can you ever create a book with ALL the stupid labels? This is one book that can never be finished!!


A Good Laugh 2007-05-12
This book is just a good laugh. A good book for a quick read.


Great coffee table book! 2007-04-02
I first read this at my friend's house a few months ago and thought it was pretty funny. It's a great little book for your coffee table. Now I find myself reading warning labels on products all the time, to see if I can find any funny ones like the labels mentioned in this book!
