Panopticon Of CPSC Hazardous Product Illustrations

1301 views

We find ourselves oddly captivated by this gallery of product warnings we unearthed on the Consumer Product Safety Commission site.

Don't drink the liquids under the sink (here's a picture of a kid doing so). Don't set your armchair on fire. Cylinder indicates possible area of entrapment. Discard all lawn darts. Beware of playing with electric trains while reading.

Click the images in the box above to begin browsing the 93 images.

There's definitely some tshirts to be made here. — BEN POPKEN

Gotta love the big red "NO!" on em'.

Although you might be able to pull off panopticon, you might consider calling it a panoply instead. Trove works too.

Although I do appreciate the Dr Who reference (along w/ the other meanings).

I should lawyer up and sue my parents... they never taught me it was dangerous to listen to the radio while I'm doing the dishes.

Trampolines may cause your hair to catch fire.

Your baby is supposed to sit in its stroller, not hang by its neck through the leg opening.

@The Nature Boy: I feel horrible but I can't stop laughing uncontrollably at that image.

@mac-phisto: When my husband was a kid, he knew someone who got one of the darts stuck in his skull (not all the way through; just lodged in the bone enough to stick). Even having witnessed that, he still thinks that the disappearance of lawn darts is absurd. I'm inclined to agree.

Why the pic of the "Discover" card? High intrest rate warning?

This is the first thing I am passing out when I start my nerd bike gang.

Sure, drawstrings are deadly, but a giant pair of scissors following your kid down the slide is totally OK.

@heathalouise

That's the funniest thing I've heard in a long time.

I'm just not sure why.
