Consumers should be able to tell
Are manufacturers encouraging bad habits by including warnings that are… ridiculous?

I don't know what you're talking about. I've ONLY used my Wartenberg Wheel for diagnostic purposes *shifty eyes*

Haha, I definitely agree that some of those warnings are hilarious. We all know what those toys are for and how to use them... they just seem ridiculous.

— "Not for children under 3 yrs." ( Found on a Cal Exotics Butterfly listing)
— "For diagnosis of neurological function" ( Found on a Wartenburg Wheel listing)
(You can add any funny ones you've found to the comments below.)
Most of us laugh it off and ignore them, but there are warnings that we should pay attention to. For example:
— Do not use on unexplained calf pain.
Calf pain can be a sign of blood clots, and using a massager to relieve the ache can cause deep vein thromboses to break off and travel to the heart or lungs, i.e. something very bad.
How are buyers supposed to tell the difference between a valid warning, and what is cover-your-ass legalese?

Maybe they should put the really important ones in a different color or font on the packaging.

Those are ridiculous!

I believe they have to write that stuff on the packages to avoid issues over state lines, for legalities sakes. For example, here in Texas, you can't sell realistic looking dildos, unless they say "For Novelty Only", or if it's a prescribed sexual aide.
