[SOLVED] I need a list of idiotic warning labels

So far, all I have are:
"Do not attempt" (disclaimers on car commercials)
"Aim towards the enemy" (words printed on a U.S. Rocket Launcher)
"Do not drink" (on liquid cleaners)
This almost sounds like something that SE++ people should handle.. but I think we all know how that would go
edit:
I'd prefer them to be real products, but any warning will do I suppose.
I need warning labels that kind of make you wonder "Why does this even need to be said? Isn't it obvious enough?" as opposed to just sheer stupid ones.
Solved: I used the three I listed, the hairdryer example.. and "don't use toaster oven in water."

Do they have to be real products, or will any warning do?

You're welcome.

Nice! I like this.
Some of those are nice ("Caution: Never spray at your own eyes" on pepper spray for example), I want to keep hearing user favorites though!
Well excuuuuuuuse me Mr Disaster, I thought a list of idiotic warning labels might be relevant to a topic entitled "I need a list of idiotic warning labels".
Children's cough syrup: 'Do not operate heavy machinery after use'
Motorbikes: 'Do not attempt to lick tyres when moving'

"Caution: May Burn Eyes"
I thought that was to perfect and it's hanging up on my wall now, along with the icon.
That's because they're ceramic, dumbass. They can shatter easily enough, but when hit with a round it's that shattering that absorbs the impact of the ball meant for your lung, and deflects it off. Once the plate is loaded, it can typically shatter a number of times and still retain relatively effective protection.
They cannot help so much if they break before they're inserted into the fucking vest though, can they? I mean, if you really want to sweep up a hundred or more chunks of ceramic plate and try to arrange them so that they fit into the vest without tearing it up I guess you could try but I don't think that'll work out so well.
Also I'm pretty sure that plate armor is only meant for ball ammunition, not armor piercing. I'm not sure that there really exists personal armor plating that's effective against armor piercing rounds that leaves you particularly mobile. The stuff bomb disposal guys wear could probably stop a few, but you're not very mobile when you're wearing that gear.
Anyhow, sorry, back on topic. The thing about that 5 gallon bucket though, lots of kids DO drown in them because toddlers are just tall enough to lean over one and tip in. The kid's lighter than the bucket full of water though, so it doesn't tip over and the kid ends up drowning. It's a real problem.
The hair dryer in the shower is awesome though, not just because it's obviously dangerous, but also, you're showering. Pouring water on yourself. What is the use of a blow dryer under those circumstances? That's a great example of a stupid label.
CUZ THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE AND IT'S GIVING ME A RASH
