I guess if you are warned about something, someone else has already tried it.
Here is the warning label on a Halloween costume I saw while shopping with my granddaughter last year.
"Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
Have you come across a warning label that makes you smile?

At my old job we had a Mazak flatbed laser cutting center, with warning labels written in Japanese and (badly) translated. They were good for a cheap laugh.
I can tell you one that just infuriates me - the warning on a coffee cup that the contents may be hot.

"The State of California, using the unscientific Precautionary Principle, has determined that every substance on Earth has the potential to cause cancer."
This is roughly translated of course!

I think my favorite is the one on hair dryers that says not to use while showering.

Electrocution hazard aside, it's the fact that somebody would be trying to dry their hair while showering that seems funny. I'm sure somebody attempted it, otherwise hair dryers wouldn't have that warning label and attached GFCI.

But there are idiots out there. People have used push lawn mowers to cut hedges and gotten hurt. Then they sue the manufacturer for not mentioning that as a restriction.

It has a warning : Not to be used on testicles.
o_OA good one, on an automated plasma cutter.
"If you can not read this message do not attempt to make any adjustments."
As Ingval says, "Here's your sign." He always made me laugh with his reading of a can of shaving cream It said on the label, "Do not use near open fire or flame.
His comment was, "Somebody probably tried to shave in the fireplace!"

I understand the serious nature of this warning, but John Deere does not want you to mow over babies in the lawn:
