Warning Labels

[angrykat]

warning labels on my hair dryer:

2) do not use while bathing or in a shower.  (oops I wound do that again)
4) do not place in, or drop into, water or other liquid.  (does lubricant count?)
7) Never use while sleeping.  (sleep hair drying? never heard of that.

I want to know about the law suit where the person used the hair dryer while sleeping.

On a guess...

... I'd say that perhaps someone was using a hair dryer to warm their bed.

(I have in the past used both a hair dryer and a heat gun (just a hair dryer on steroids I s'pose) to warm the air in my studio on a day so cold regular heating wasn't keeping up.)

Hair dryers: The world's most unsafe, yet highly effective, space heaters.

And that's not even including the one my dad had in his lab. The one that was used to light up cigarettes when the smokers forgot their lighters. (temperature at the jet exit point? 600C)

There should be a website the collects all the dumb ass warning labels (actually, I should google that -- there probably is! and you should submit those).
