Not quite...this was posted because it was mistyped (though it's probably been fixed since): Mentadent Dual Action Mouthwash - WARNING: If an amount considerably larger than being used is swallowed, seek professional assistance or contact a poison control center immediately. How can you swallow more than you put in your mouth? They meant to say "larger than recommended usage amount..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They meant to say "larger than recommended usage amount..." "using" mouthwash isn't the same thing as "putting it in your mouth". If you swallowed too much mouthwash you'd have to contact a poison control center, or you'd probably die. In otherwords, don't chug it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Sitherino Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 I remember back when cd-r's were relatively new, you'd find some labels that said "not for physical burning. Do not place near or in fire" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_hill987 Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 This one was in the book that came with my mouse: pg1: HEALTH WARNING! Use of a keyboard or pointing device may be linked to serious injuries or disorders. The rest of this page is about the disorders pg2: conecting your mouse for dummies pg3: Using your mouse for dummies pg4: cleaning your mouse for dummies pg 5-11: The healthy computer guide, this bit is really good, it tells all about how to sit and use your computer so you don't get as many of the aforementioned disorders. THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD BTW: I bet you can guess the manufacturer of my mouse... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
