Bought one of those jazzy glue roller bottles the other day. Now I
understand why Norm's projects drip and squeeze.
As I cleaned the shop I noticed the following on the cardboard insert:
"WARNING:
Using hand tools can be dangerous. Always be careful and keep away from
children. Use protective eyewear at all times and select the right tool for
the job."
It's a flippin glue bottle!!!!
I just bought a Creative Zen Nano Plus mp3 player and in the manual it says
WARNING: The cord(s) included with this product may contain chemicals known
to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

I'm all for clear, uncomplicated, forceful warnings when the danger is
real. I will always remember the large sign on the gate of a "safari
park" (you drive around in your car and see the lions, tigers, etc
roaming around unhindered) I took my daughter to. WARNING! GIVEN HALF
A CHANCE THESE ANIMALS WILL KILL YOU! No rolled down windows that day,
I guarantee you.

Of course I do. What would happen if the hammer slipped?

Sounds like an opportunity for GlueStop, Inc., to petitition the
Consumer Products Safety Commission, to mandate use of their
proprietary device on all glue bottles!

The reason for eye protection is not because the bottle will harm you,
but to remind yourself not to rub your eye with your gluey hands...

Well, there you go, just paying no attention to important safety concerns. I
would never use a glue bottle without eye protection. Why, what if you wanted
to know how much glue was in that bottle? Of course, you'd hold it up to your
eye and tilt it up to the light so you could see inside, wouldn't you? And the
next thing you know, all that glue would just come pouring out right into your
eye, and then where would you be?
It's careless people like you who give woodworking a bad reputation for safety.
You ought to be ashamed of yourself. Next, I suppose you'll tell us that you
don't where hearing protection when you use a screwdriver.

As time passes, there's going to be so much unhappiness with some
aspects of product performance for the lack of lead in a product.
Anyone see the story on History (or was it Discover) channel about
what happens when lead isn't in solder? Tin whiskering. That's going
to cause some of our high tech gadgets to no work.
And lead in PVC. Cord flex life is already a problem. Take lead out
and it's gonna get bigger.

Too true. Some warning labels I've put under a microscope to read,
the damn printing is so small.

Yeah, that's the famous California Chicken Little Warning--almost
_everything_ sold in CA is required by law to have that warning or a
similar one on it. It's so ubiquitous that it destroys the utility of such
warnings.

One of those is lead. It's apparently put into PVC to make it flexible for
things like appliance cords (and artificial Christmas trees). No regulation
in China on how much is allowed (there is in the US, but I'd be surprised
if many appliance cords are made here).

Reading tiny fine print on warning labels might damage your eyesight!
In fact your mind might be attacked by reading these lines. You can't be too
careful!
Look down- watch your feet.
Look up-watch that beam.
Wear ear plugs-even when there's no noise.
Listen for- warning signs.
