Q-Tip Liabilities or rather, Cotton Swab Cowardess
Does anyone else read the packaging of cotton swabs? I read every brand that end up in the cabinet, I swear. I'm always looking for one thing, for it to suggest swabbing ear wax with them. They just won't say it. According to these packages, cotton swabs are so damn practical in so many ways that they can't even be counted.
Pet care, baby care, Around the Office!, arts and craft projects and for such beauty care applications as--applying nail polish, make-up and lotions.
Then, under that--DO NOT STICK IN EAR CANAL.
Imagine the lawsuits they would receive if they suggested, "Cotton Swabs are great for cleaning out your filthy ears!" Every person that pushed too far. The broken ear drums.
Tell me that you aren't liable, but don't tell me not to use your product for what you damn well know it is intended for.
Nose hair clippers aren't afraid of what you stick in your nose. "DO NOT STICK NOSE HAIR CLIPPERS IN OR AROUND NOSE." You can choke on a toothbrush! "DO NOT PLACE ORAL-B TOOTHBRUSH IN MOUTH." Think of razor blades! "DO NOT TOUCH GILLETTE RAZOR TO YOUR SKIN."
