During a tv ad for Ambien CR (a sleeping pill - VERY potent - I fall asleep deeply within 15 minutes of taking it), this disclaimer is stated:
Until you know how Ambien CR will affect you, you should not drive or operate heavy machinery.
Hm. Um. Let's see - you have to put a disclaimer in a SLEEPING PILL ADVERTISEMENT not to DRIVE or use a FORKLIFT??????
Are we, as a nation, so stupid that we have to be reminded not to drive while we're asleep?
Yikes.

Shampoo..not to be taken internally! (Now how am I going to clean my hair roots?)
Paint Thinner: Do not ingest this product and keep out of eyes! (I didn't think the can was blood thinner...what the hell is this all about?)

That's dumb, but not as dumb as one I'm looking at right now. I've got a package of incense here, and the disclaimer says, "Not to be taken internally."

'Fraid so. Although I believe the intent is more to protect the mfgr's of the products from lawsuits.
If you ever have opportunity to work in product liability, in any capacity, you will weep at the folly of mankind.
Not to mention throw up looking at pictures of industrial accidents. Or lawn mower accidents, or corn huskers, .... etc.
