Buy a gallon of milk, and there is the warning, may contain milk. Same on ice cream! Geeze, I sure HOPE so! Peanut butter, contains peanuts. Nah! Really..I thought it was made of straw! It seems every food package now says made in a factory that may have nuts, wheat or what ever in it.
Every plastic bag has a warning, suffocation risk. Except for babies and kids, anyone stupid enough to put a plastic bag over their head, deserves to get snuffed! Does anyone not know this by now.
That song said signs signs everywhere a sign. That is what this country has become. Try driving a big city with multiple lanes. So many signs, you can't figure out which one pertains to you.
Remember the old joke about tearing the tag off the mattress. So we all left the tags on cause it said do not remove. Finally someone told us, that is for the seller, not the buyer.
Some clothing tags read like a novel. Except for the info you really want. Or they are pictures that might make sense in one country but not others.
Then there is the tear here. Which of course doesn't. One plastic chip bag rips wide open the next you need a chainsaw to get into.
I am surprised doors don't say, push open when business is open only,walk through while holding, one foot then the next until totally through it. Proceed to destination.roll eyes

People are allergic to nuts where they die just by the smell of nuts..They would be sued to high heaven if they didn't warn people who suffer from allergies..I'm glad they do it.

Warning the bottle may contian milk? well that's dumb! but dumb those that placed the warning there.

Plastic bags at least as far as i can understand it the warnings are meant for kids,and obvious parents have to pay attention to their kids,so kids won't kill themselves.

After all we live in the plastic age along with the more you spend the more "Materialims" multinational and corporation with their coffee buddies the corrupted politicians are happy.
Well what would you expect in a world made of fake wherever you watch?,of course whenever reality has been brought to light,from the masses its dismissed immediately like a fake news why they tend to believe more on what looks like a soap rather than face reality which is more harsh and hard to face,and of course not convenient for the crooked politicians and capitalism.

Tanzila..good one...rolling on the floor laughing The problem is when Big Brother baby sits us too much, we lost the ability to think for ourselves..hmmm ..or is that the intent?
When I was a kid, supervision was be back for supper. And don't slam the door. My parents had confidence they had taught me common sense..like don't jump off the barn roof. They had kept an eye on me til they did. Todays parents either helicopter or set the kid on a game computer or internet and ignore them. Dont do anything to upset the kids. Don't take them to a funeral cause it upsets them. Do say no. And plaster items with every warning cause some moron will misuse and then sue for THEIR stupidity.doh

It's because of lawsuits. I think the ridiculous lawsuits started in the 1970's.
Way too many lawyers, in this country

Much of this idiocy surrounds the MacDonald’s coffee burns a patron sustained when she wedged the cup of hot coffee between her legs in the car, and it spilled, causing second degree burns, well, kind of all over thighs, etc...Since then, superfluous warnings have to be on everything...” this knife can cut”, “sunglasses not recommended for nocturnal driving”, etc...sigh

actually most doors in America specifies on glass doors one side you read "PUSH"and next side "PULL". .
You don't know which one to handle first , push or pull?
Sometimes you even wonder which push is push and which pull is pull?
After wondering like this you give up and handle any door you can grab and utilize push and pull both at the same time at see which way it really operates, instead of losing your mind over it figuring out directions of pulling and pushing.

For those of us who have to, or choose to avoid certain foods, the food allergy labelling has been splendid.

I'm sorry if you're offended by the legislation not having a caveat to exclude the apparently obvious, but it does avoid individual decision making which could lead to lethal consequences. It would be a bit odd, complicated and confusing to have laws which demand allergen transparency, unless someone decides it's evident from their own value framework.

You'd be surprised at how little people working in the catering industry actually know, never mind the general public. I had to point out to a catering manager once that mayonaise has eggs in it. People really do need simple, blanket, as-fool-proof-as-possible guidelines.

One might say it's a bit dumb not to think of that.

Color me mean...
But, an adult who lacks the
comprehension to understand,
that milk contains milk...
Doesn't really deserve a warning.
