Other winners include a label on a popular scooter for children that warns: “This product moves when used.”; a warning on a digital thermometer that can be used to take a person’s temperature several different ways: “Once used rectally, the thermometer should not be used orally.”; a label on an electric hand blender promoted for use in blending, whipping, chopping and dicing that warns: “Never remove food or other items from the blades while the product is operating.”; and a label on a nine-by-three-inch bag of air used as packing material. It carries this warning: “Do not use this product as a toy, pillow, or flotation device.”
