Warning label

A warning label is a label attached to a product, or contained in a product's instruction manual, warning the user about risks associated with its use, and may include restrictions by the manufacturer or seller on certain uses.^[1] Most of them are placed to limit civil liability in lawsuits against the item's manufacturer or seller (see product liability).^[2]^[3] That sometimes results in labels which for some people seem to state the obvious.
