Here are the winnners of the M-LAW competition for wackiest warning  
label of the year:  
 
1st prize  
Do not use for personal hygiene – on a toilet brush
   
2nd prize  
This product moves when used – from a child’s scooter
   
Previous winners have included:
*  Remove child before folding – on a baby’s buggy
*  Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally -  
on a digital thermometer
*  Never remove food or other items from the blades while the  
product is operating - on an   electric hand blender
*  Harmful if swallowed – on a three-pronged brass fishing lure.
*  Do not use this product as a toy, pillow, or flotation device -  
on a bag of air used as a packing material
*  Do not use as a ladder – on a 30cm tall CD rack
*  Never iron clothes while they are being worn - on a household  
iron
*  Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations. It will  
not extinguish a fire - on a smoke detector
*  Do not eat toner - on a laser printer cartridge
*  And on a pair of cyclist’s shin guards – Shin pads cannot protect  
any part of the body they do not cover.
