Here's a list..............

ON TESCO'S TIRIMISU DESERT - Do not turn upside down. (Printed on the bottom of
the box.)
ON MARKS & SPENCER BREAD PUDDING - Product will be hot after heating
ON PACKAGING FOR A ROWENTA IRON - Do not Iron clothes on body
ON A STRING OF CHINESE MADE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS - For indoor or outdoor use only.
ON A JAPANESE FOOD PROCESSOR - Not to be used for the other use.
ON A SWEDISH CHAINSAW - Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands.
ON A PACKET OF SUNMAID RAISINS - Why not try tossing over your favourite
breakfast cereal?
