Do not dry in the oven.....!!!

[GeordieSkydiver 0]

So I bought this fleece blanket and I came to wash it. I thought I'd check the label before ignoring it and sticking it on a 40 degree wash anyway.

The label gives some helpful hints:

"Dont dry in an oven"

WTF? Do they really think people are that stupid?

Everyone knows the only thing you can dry in an oven is a wet cat.

If there's a label on it, it means some Darwin Award candidate did it, and some lawyer said "You gotta warn them against this."

In that case, the label will eventually be bigger than the blanket!

The company I work for sells portable electronics - mostly wind meters and weather stations. We sell a lot of hand held stuff to windsurfers and kayakers. Items are made mostly of plastic. Anyway - I got a call about a year ago from a guy who wanted a new unit because he melted his. Turns out he did this by putting it in the oven to dry it out. I told him, politely, he was SOL.

I don't remember where - but on a chain saw - "Do not try to slow blade down with crotch"



I can't IMAGINE the darwin award capability that the individual or group that that warning was neccessary for has.

I think not. True story related to me by a friend. He and his older brother were mischievious demons. They experimented with the microwave oven. One time they put a cat in. After about 3 seconds the cat stood rigid, 5 seconds later it exploded in a cloud of blood, gore and bits of fur... [Pirate]

I could have gone the rest of my life without that visual image.
