Warning Labels

 

Warning: While you're out and about doing your holiday shopping, beware of the dangerous aspects of the products you're thinking about buying. For example, that benign-looking shirt you're about to purchase -- did you know that you are not supposed to iron it while wearing it?!? And did you know you're never supposed to use a hair dryer while sleeping? Oh, and watch that Slurpee -- it could cause brain freeze! Just a few important tips you may overlook if not for the warning labels pointing out that sort of thing.

 

AOL's Money & Finance suggested a fun story idea for us to illustrate about wacky warning labels found on everyday products. Monica and I took up the challenge of creating photos and photo illustrations for the story. To increase the visual interest, Monica & I decided to illustrate the warnings instead of just photograph the actual labels. You see some of those ideas above.

 

Check out our Warning Labels Photo Gallery and let us know what you think about warning labels.  What's the oddest warning label you've ever encountered?
