About the Wacky Warning Labels(TM) Contest
Contest creator Bob Dorigo Jones, bestselling author of Remove Child Before Folding: The 101 Stupidest, Silliest and Wackiest Warning Labels Ever, has reached hundreds of millions of Americans in the past decade with the important message of the WWL Annual Contest –
“Absurd and silly labels surround us in everyday places – because America has a lawsuit-happy culture that must be changed!”
Bob’s been talking about the Contest on his weekly radio commentary, “Let’s Be Fair!” and in his “Let’s Be Fair!” blog (www.bobdorigojones.com). Now it’s time for you to get involved!
Hilarious and thought-provoking past winners include:
- "Remove child before folding” – on a child car safety seat!
- “Never operate your speakerphone while driving” – on a hands-free cell phone product called the “Drive ‘N’ Talk”! (2010 Contest Winner)
- “Not for use on moving vehicles” – the warning on the “Off-Road Commode,” a portable toilet seat that attaches to a trailer hitch!
- “Danger: Avoid Death” – a warning on a small tractor!
- “Harmful if swallowed – a warning on a brass fishing lure with a three-pronged hook
- "This product moves when used” – a warning on a popular children’s scooter!
