Lysol Maker Warning - Don't Ingest or Shoot Up with Disinfectant

I was reminded of those reflective sun shields that cover the inside of the windshield.
They have a warning on them: "Do not drive with the sunshield in place."
I wonder how far back do we need to go to find the origins of this approach- somebody who did something totally stupid that led to companies protecting themselves against possible lawsuits with all kinds of "warning" labels? Possibly the woman who sued McDonald's because the coffee was hot?
The nuttiest one I've seen, though- a few years ago I noticed Hershey candy bar wrappers actually had instructions on the label on how to open them! Maybe somebody got a paper cut and sued Hershey's?!? :p

How about "These doors to remain unlocked during business hours."
Were the doors locked before & an employee said to the owner, "Ya know, we've been open for 8 hours & haven't had a single customer."
 
What does this have to do with injecting or ingesting disinfectants?

Did you watch the actual briefing and hear what was said? I'm certain that he was speculating about the Medically Associated Science and Technology (MAST) Program at Cedars-Sinai and the experimental things they are trying to eradicate a virus. Something that was reported by the AP on the 20th. All he said was maybe they would possibly find a way to safely disinfect internally. Only a total moron and Darwin award winner would read that as go ahead and start sucking down Lysol.
Nothing worse than headline readers. Can't take the time to research anything.
