question about tylenol?


Question:
Why does it say "do not use before working with heavy machinery" on the back of childrens tylenol? I mean..really could we save that many people by getting those darn five year-olds with headcolds off those forklifts!?

Answers:
Thats funny. I wounder why they put it on there. I guess it could have something to do with kids driving those Hot Wheels cars. But I really dont' know, but it is funny

Tylenol is bad for the liver. Are you taking it? Or giving it to your kids? Let me know!
Very funny.
Electric forks and spoons
the reason they do this is because people buy it a drink it like beer it a high they use it gust like meth thats why
lol
you stole that from some chain e-mail with those funny labels. next time, dont try and claim it like you said it.
Uh, adults can take those, too. It's not against the law. And they would certainly get sued otherwise.
Perhaps . . . But, then again . . .
So they don't get sued when adults take the kids tylenol and decide to do something stupid.
for kids like this one:

lol =)
Heavy machinery could be a keyboard or a CD player with Nine Inch Nails on it.
some adults wont swallow pills so they double or triple up on kids meds thats why
Because we seriously had adult patients taking children's tylenol and then blaming things on the tylenol... That, and the 16 year olds that were driving cars taking the child's tylenol. Things just have to be labelled for those people out there.....
thats off a website i saw it funnyjunk.com
probably put there because of another stupid all knowing law we taxpayers paid a zillion dollars to enact.
The law regulates what companies put on labels......so they have to put that on anything with those ingredients.
think of the bulldozers !!
i dont know but i think its for x-tream kids that knock down houses with wrecking balls and want to dig to china and use a tractor digger thing
beleive it or not childrens asa is taken by many adults because it "works better" Asprin is a blood thinner and childrens asprin can be absorbed faster than normal asprin because it is more soluable.
We can thank the lawyers for requiring all these warnings. I say we file a class-action suit against them!
Its just the law because it can cause drowsiness... and lets face it there are a lot of stupid adults out there who might take children's Tylenol and think that because it is the children's version it will not cause drowsiness...
Winnebago has in its drivers manual not to put the motor home on cruise control and then get up and go to the bathroom -- because some idiot actually did it!
Lawsuits. Protection from lawsuits like when someone leaves a bottle full open for a kid to swallow.
Because of stupid people who have sued the Tylenol company for stupid reasons. That's why Starbucks and McDonals have a warning label that says Caution Coffee maybe hot.
You never know when child labor will come back in style. My kids use that to keep from doing their chores...ARG!
i think they could possibly mean not to let the children get on those 4 wheelers and bikes and such. medacine tends to make children more sleepy than adults, so you dont want your little tyke to get involved with something that calls for intelligence and independence, not to mention skill and complete attention. id hate to get on one of those quarter machine rides in front of the grocery store and fall off! that would hurt :)
LOL
Yes, it's funny. I think drug manufacturers bend over backward so as not to get sued.

In relation to another answer here, Tylenol can cause liver damage but only if the dosage recommendations are exceeded. So do not give higher doses or give more often than the package recommends.
because their lawyers told them to put it there
It says that for a reason.
