The winner of the seventh annual Wacky Warning Labels contest has been announced:

The $500 grand prize for the wackiest label was… for a warning he found on a bottle of drain cleaner which says: “If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product.”

Other winners:

  • Fishing lure which warns, “Harmful if swallowed”.
  • Label on a snow sled which says: “Beware: sled may develop high speed under certain snow conditions.”
  • A smoke detector which warns: “Do not use the Silence Feature in emergency situations. It will not extinguish a fire.”
