I bought a new phone today and this was one of the warnings that was in the instruction manual.
Aren't the warning labels getting more and more ridiculous?

Um - have you talked to people lately? I'm not surprised - not anymore - at how very, very stupid the general public has become.
And someone just HAD to try drying a phone in a microwave for that warning to be placed there...just as there had to be ONE person who was blowdrying their hair in the bathtub, one person who ate the silicon pack in a bag of peanuts, one person who...you get the point...
Sigh...

Everything , is getting so silly that you don't even know what you are reading means, it is wrote down so crazy. You better be smart enough to read in between the lines.
I heard someone gave their cat a bath and tried to dry it in the microwave.
You don't know what you are eating in food . You can read the label and still be cluess. You would think any one would know better than put their cell phone in microwave.

Damn right
The best ones I ever saw were
"Warning may contain nuts" - On rat poison, as if the rat cares.
OR
"Serving suggestion, eat with spoon" - On a tin of soup ... well actually I was going to use chopsticks.
How about
"This product not intended for use as a dental drill." - On a power tool
And
"Keep away from children" - On baby lotion
And one last one
"Do not use as an ice cream topping." - ON HAIR DYE
HONEST I HAD FINISHED BUT HAD TO PASS THESE TWO.
"These ear plugs are nontoxic, but may interfere with breathing if caught in windpipe" - You don't say, and I aalways put ear plugs in from the inside, don't the rest of you
"Caution: Do not turn upside down" ON THE BOTTOM OF A TESCO DESERT ............. OOOPS TOO LATE

With an unending list of people waiting to sue somebody else, manufacturers need to try and cover everything possible in case of a potential hazard some air-head dreams up causes a law-suit...

You know I tried drying my Persian cat by drying it in a microwave oven. I ended up getting a new microwave oven and a new cat.

yes, but unfortunately, it has been incredibly obvious that more and more people are getting less and less intelligent as the world progresses. hopefully we will both be long dead before people have to have labels on them that say things like "do not eat," or other things which people in society today would never even consider

not so. I had a radar detector. It went thru a fire & hose-ing down by the fire depart. I put it in a oven at 100degrees for a couple of days. when I took it out & plugged it in. It worked perfectly. It was a passport.

I sometimes fear meeting the people these warnings were meant for. Actually, I think I live next to one.

On the silica, in a package of jerky, it says "Do not eat"...that's understandable, because someone might think it's salt or something, and try to eat it...but on the side of my son's skates...it says "do not eat", on the Styrofoam...why would anyone mistake Styrofoam for food? And if they could, they'd be too young to be reading the "do not eat" sign.

The last time I ws in a microwave, I didn't need to call anybody. So, no problem. But I'll remember that for next time. Thanks.
