Stop, look and laugh!

Maybe you've seen our collection of bizarre and often funny road signs. Here's another installment in the crazy world of what people do...and what some people get paid to do! Yes, folks, some people were paid a lot of money to come up with these warning signs.

We have the Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch organization (M-LAW) to thank for these Wacky Warning Labels. In 1997, M-LAW began a contest to expose how frivolous lawsuits have led to a new cultural phenomenon: the wacky warning label. Each year M-LAW has a contest to see which warning labels are the wackiest. If you have a good one, send it to M-LAW.
