Warning label

You may have seen the results of the annual Wacky Warning Labels contest, where entries are judged on their silliness (e.g., a label on a kitchen knife: “Never try to catch a falling knife.”).

On the other end of the spectrum we have the warning at United Nuclear’s (a cool science shop) neodymium magnets page. You wouldn’t think magnets would need a warning, but you’d be wrong.

Our larger magnets can easily bruise fingers and even break finger bones as they attempt to connect together. Always wear protective eyewear or safety goggles when handling the magnets.

If you or someone in your household has a PACEMAKER or another electronic surgical implant, don’t even think of ordering these items.
