What about the ubiquitous "Do not touch blade while spinning"?

I have a lawn mower that says not meant to trim hedges.. so we are a world of idiots..........

What we need to put on all products is this;
Do not open package or operate this product without first consulting your attorney.

OK, I've got a related question - how come so many warnings are in quotes? Like "Do not operate blender while head is touching blade." Are they quoting someone? Did someone actually say that once?

Probably the legal department of the distributor.... LOL Or the person who ran screaming to the hospital right after calling an attorney because those damn blades are sharp.
Sorry Lionel no disrespect intended.
I actually wanted to be an attorney once, and am trying to get the VA to send me back to scholl to get the paper.

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (Darn, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair).

On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?)

On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that would be how???....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down." (well...duh, a bit late, huh!)

On Marks &Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after
heating." (...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body." (but wouldn't this save me more time)?

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication." (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could
just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness." (and...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only." (as opposed to...what)?

On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use." (now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts." (Step 3: maybe, uh...fly Delta?)

On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a baby walker: Remove infant before storage

On the top of a ceiling fan blade: Turn off before cleaning fan.
