The number of industrial labels that manufacturers have to put on their products seems to be increasing as each year passes. Some are very necessary for the safety and management of the product whereas others just seem utterly pointless. We 100% support labelling products to provide details about what they’re about and safety reasons, but sometimes these reasons go too far. We discuss wacky labels manufacturers are forced to put on their products to protect themselves from frivolous lawsuits, and some of the lawsuits that drive prices up and job creation down.
