I think it all started with the warning labels on electric blow dryers that said "Don't blow dry hair in shower".

Now this on a pizza box. I'm concerned we may not make it very far into the 21st century.

Dominos pizza when they offered the loaded pizza with everything wasn't bad. If you were really hungry
 
My dog would have no problem eating the pizza box if we let her.
As far as warning labels, probably one of the most important warnings on a jar of something is "Refrigerate after opening." Problem is, it's in tiny letters in the most obscure area of the label or lid.
 
The warning labels result from too many trial lawyers suing because of stupid people with lack of common sense. The media is carrying stories all the time about people who put hot cups of coffee between their legs while driving and sue the company when the get burned. Jurys, (made up of stupid people) think giving the poor "injured" person lots of money have no idea they will be paying those funds in higher prices for the products the company sells.
 
My zero turn mower has so many idiot proof switches on it that every spring I have to read the instruction manual over again just to get the lever sequence properly positioned to start it. Id eliminate them but they are so intergrated into the machine Im not sure where to begin..
 
My mother once brought me back a T-shirt from India. The care instructions on the label included the phrase, "Do not beat the **** out of the garment."
I **** you not.
That's a good one! I used to see stuff like that occasionally in Japan. I think what happens is people unfamiliar with English ask a native speaker of English how to say something and occasionally they run into a guy with a sense of humor. Or, unfamiliar with the language, they choose words from a dictionary that wind up being pretty funny.

Sharp, an electronics maker, was famous among foreigners in the 1980s in Japan for a goof printed on their rudimentary word processors. They wanted to emphasize in bold writing on their product that it had a "3.5 inch floppy disk." They debated whether the word was spelled "disc" or disk," and finally decided to to go with the latter. Unfortunately, they inadvertently dropped the "s" from disc, left in the "c," and added the "k" when they produced the product...
