No pressure valve or pop=off?

 Human Race is doomed through stupidity!
 In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through 
stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

 On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping. (That's the only time I 
have to work on my hair.)

 On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner!  No purchase necessary. 
Details inside.  (the shoplifter special?)

  On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap." (and that 
would be???....)

 On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost." (but, it's 
just a suggestion.)

  On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside 
down." (well.duh, a bit late, huh!)

  On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating." 
(...and you thought????...)

  On packaging for a Rowenta iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body." (but 
wouldn't this save me time?)

  On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate 
machinery after taking this medication."  (We could do a lot to reduce the 
rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5 year-olds with 
head-colds off those bulldozers.)

  On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."(...I'm taking this 
because???....)

  On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only." 
(as opposed to what?)

 On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use." (now, 
somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious.)

  On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts." (talk about a news 
flash)

 On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat 
nuts."
 (Step 3: say what?)

  On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable 
you to fly."
 (I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

 On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or 
genitals."
 (Oh my God..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)
