People from M-LAW's Wacky Warning Labels contest say:

A warning label on a washing machine at a laundromat that warns, âœDo not put any person in this washerâ has been chosen as the nationâ™s wackiest warning label in M-LAWâ™s annual Wacky Warning Label Contest.

The contest, now in its tenth year, is conducted by Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch, M-LAW, to reveal how lawsuits, and concern about lawsuits, have created a need for common sense warnings on products.
