lew Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) We've all seen the strange warning labels on things we buy and shake our heads wondering who would be foolish enough to do what they're telling us not to. Don't injest the paint, don't use the hair dryer in the shower, even my wheel barrow tire has a warning not to use at hiway speed. Today for Christmas my wife bought me a clock in the shape of a saw blade for the shop and I honestly can't believe the warning on the back of the box. Is anyone really dumb enough to try and use these blades on their circ or table saw ?? Edited December 25, 2015 by lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wask Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Hahaha. Sadly... yes. Someone thought they would just use it in a pinch and probably lost a body part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey buoy Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 You can sue for everything now,looks like they are just protecting themselves even if it does sound silly. Common sense is hard for some . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherpete Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 Yeah sadly if the manufacturer didn't put that on there, someone would see $$$$$ and try using it just to launch a lawsuit... pretty sad. Even a cup of coffee these days has a "warning : hot liquid" on it... good thing, because I may have been SOOOO tempted to pour it on my lap...

Old Ironmaker Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 Yep, we are all treated as if we have no brain cells. We all heard the one about the lady suing McDonalds for big money because she spilled hot coffee on herself. I recently watched a documentary about it. She needed skin grafts on her legs, it was bad.

glen Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I wouldn't use the saw blade because I don't have a saw. But that blue hammer looks like it would be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 I don't remember the brand offhand but there's a type of fish hook that I buy for making worm harnesses and right on the package it warns not to eat the hooks. Unbelievable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald's screwed themselves on that one. The family was looking for coverage for medical bills. McD's kept their coffee at near boiling temps so it had a longer "shelf-life". The judge found for the family to cover the medical bill but punished McD's arrogance by also awarding the family some small percent of 1 day's worth of coffee sales which amounted to the millions of dollars.

dave524 Posted December 26, 2015 Report Share Posted December 26, 2015 (edited) Worked on a neighbour's farm all through high school during the 60's, ages 14 to 19. Scares me to think of todays teens working around all that machinery that didn't have protective guards on rotating shafts or any pinch points. Products of the increasing nanny state and helicopter parenting I guess and it's only getting worse. Edited December 26, 2015 by dave524 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
