The Wacky Warning Label Contest Winner is:

"Do not use for personal hygiene."

The Wacky Warning Label Contest sponsor,
says the goal is "to reveal how lawsuits, and concern about lawsuits,
have created a need for common sense warnings on products."

The $500 first prize went to Ed Gyetvai, of Oldcastle, Ontario, who submitted the label on a toilet brush that says:
"Do not use for personal hygiene."

A $250 second prize went to Matt Johnson, of Naperville, Ill., for a label on a children's scooter that said:
"This product moves when used."

A $100 third prize went to Ann Marie Taylor, of Camden, S.C., who submitted a warning from a digital thermometer that said:
"Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally."

"Warning labels are a sign of our lawsuit-plagued times,
from the moment we raise our head in the morning off pillows that bear those famous
Do Not Remove warnings, to when we drop back in bed at night, we are overwhelmed with warnings."
