A Warning Label for Illiterates

The Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch (M-LAW) holds an annual Wacky Warning Labels contest as a way of underscoring the heights of silliness to which lawsuit worries have driven us. They usually come up with some pretty funny entries, but to me, this one takes the cake for CYA (but really, would this even be legally defensible?):

Found on a bottle of drain cleaner: "If you do not understand, or cannot read, all directions, cautions and warnings, do not use this product."

HA.
