internationally recognized 12th Annual "Wacky Warning Labels" Contest.

* This year`s Grand Prize Winner is"Not for use when vehicle is in motion," a
submission from Steve Shiflett of Hampton, Georgia. The label is attached to a
portable toilet seat for outdoorsmen called "The Off-Road Commode" because it is
designed to attach to a vehicle`s trailer hitch.
* The Second Prize Winner is a wart removal product instruction guide that
warns, "Do not use if you cannot see clearly to read the information in the
information booklet." A tie for Third Prize Winner includes a label on the
underside of a cereal bowl warns, "Always use this product with adult
supervision," and a warning label on a bag of livestock castration rings that
warns, "For animal use only."
* A fifth finalist sent in a warning label on a small, 1" x 4" LCD panel that
warns, "Do not eat the LCD panel."
