Most people know Tide Pods are not food and hair dryers should not be used while sleeping. At least, we really hope so. But judging by the disclaimers companies put on products, somebody out there definitely needed the reminder. So maybe it’s good they exist after all.
One Redditor asked users to share the dumbest warning labels they’ve ever seen, and the responses did not disappoint. We gathered some of the funniest and most ridiculous ones below. Scroll down to check them out.

That truck commercial from a year back or so that showed the truck "skiing" down a mountain doing jumps and stuff. They had to put a warning at the bottom saying "Trucks cannot ski. Do not try this.".

I worked in the kitchen of a jail once and some of the boxes of food said "not meant for human consumption".

My parents test-drove a car that had a little hutch in the center console with the label: "Do not put your hamburger in here." Gotta love America!

My parents had this automatic shower cleaner thing in their shower. You hang it up, and press a button to make it spray out shower cleaner. It had a label that said "not to be used as body wash."
I was disappointed, since I was really looking forward to using shower cleaner with bleach as a nice, scrubbing body wash.

On the manual for a portable projector: 'do not put in bath tub' with a drawing of a huge bathtub filled with water and huge X over it.

Disclaimer: I did not see this, but a friend of mine told me the following warning he saw.
**Tl;Dr:** Warning of "Do Not Eat" on a brick of C4.
His unit was deployed in Afghanistan and a Navy EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal) team was going to dispose of captured weapons and ordinance. He had asked earlier if he could tag along the next time they were going to get rid of explosives.
As they piled the ordinance out, he and the EOD team start laying out C4 bricks. He opens the crate of C4, on the box there is a date of 1969 and the warning: Do Not Eat. Every brick contains the same warning "Do Not Eat". I guess someone found grey play-doh appetizing at some point during Vietnam?

Not so much a warning, but the instructions on a pain relief gel I once bought read "after applying to the affected area, wash your hands. Unless the affected area is your hands."
