"Never iron clothes while they are being worn." -- warning label on an iron, from a collection of wacky warning labels. Also, a label on a stroller: "Remove child before folding."

It's not as easy to fold a child as it might look at first glance. The wriggle.

you would think that you wouldn't have to tell people that! then again i once had to say, "take your feet out of toilet." i never thought i would have to string those particular words together either.

(my three year old was trying to get the sand out from between his toes after playing outside.)

You would think you wouldn't have to tell people not to hold a cup of scalding hot coffee between their legs while driving, but look what happened there.
It's sad that companies have to go to such extremes to cover their asses (protection from lawsuits by stupid people)... at least we get some amusement from it!

Why on earth do people still needed to be corrected about this?

Sheesh.

It's not nice to make me spit my breakfast at the monitor :)

Amazing what we say as mothers that never occured to us as valid sentences before!

Well, *I've* been known to be folded, but how else do you fit seven people and their stuff in a minivan?

What would be funnier is to find both labels on a set of clothes.

Am I the only person who's heard of people burning themselves by ironing shirts they were wearing?

It's a sad thing that you'd need such a label, but the fault is not in the irons.
