While certainly entertaining (who can't but love a real label on a 5" fishing hook with three huge barbs that warns, "Harmful if swallowed"?) this site, produced by Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, also helps bring attention to the idiocy generated by the persistent threat of lawsuits: the ridiculous warnings dictated by attorneys trying to shield clients from frivolous lawsuits. How else could you explain a drain cleaner which warns: "If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product."
