The stickers are cheesy and stupid, but that doesn't detract from the book. It's funny read from cover to cover. But, if you need a quick pick-me-up, just flip to a random page for a laugh.
Nowadays with the number of lawsuits by inept consumers injured by certain products, manufacturers are forced to put "idiot-proof" warning labels on their products.
Contains information about the famous McDonald's coffee incident and subsequent lawsuit.Funny But Could be Better It may be near impossible to get a comprehensive healthcare bill through congress, but the number of idiots around forced them to pass a law requiring a warning label about using hair driers in the shower. It's a crazy world.
This book shows many funny and intriguing warning labels as well as some of the stories behind them (why can't we remove the mattress tag?).
Wry wit and cynicism attach these labels we take for granted (and seldom read). But I could not help think that some of the observations missed the mark a little. For instance a hair dryer has a label saying not to use it in the shower or while sleeping but fails to mention the bathtub (does that mean it is ok to use it in the tub?).
But still, this is a fun book to read alone or with friends. The book even comes with a section of fake warning labels that you can apply anywhere.
