Unnecessary Warnings

[pimplyteen]

Now and again I sometimes need a rubber band and end up hunting the house down for one, so today while out and about I bought a packet.

Can someone explain why I need to be warned?
This is what it says on the rear of the pack. ( WARNING) Product contains natural latex) Please keep the packaging for future reference.
Stupid or what?

'This product may contain eggs' - seriously a case of 'No schit sherlock.'

There are directions on my teachers' pension slip on how to open it!

Blame the 'no win, no fee' solicitors. If a person suffers harm through their own stupidity and there was no warning on the product, off to court they go, ching ching.
