Violation of federal law... Use only as a facial tissue...

Have a cold, so I bought these Kleenex Anti-Viral tissues. Apparently they have some little blue "dots" that kill the flu/cold viru
ses.

On the bottom of the box it says:

Directions for use: It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a amanner inconsistent with its labeling. Use only as a facial tissue.

Does than mean you cant wipe your ass with it? Could you actually be prosecuted for this?

Does anyone know the reasons for this?

Maybe they think you\'ll put the tissue in a pipe and smoke it.

when they come out with shit like that, it makes me think they don\'t know what the possible side effects would be.

I had an eye infection a few weeks ago, and they gave me some low strength antibiotic cream for my eyelid to take the irritattion down.
 The instructions labelled it as a mild soothing antibiotic cream with no active steroid ingredients, suitable for adults and children over the age of 3.

Then at the bottom, it said:

APPLY ONLY WHERE INSTRUCTED BY YOUR GP

I don\'t think you can be prosecuted for it, I think it\'s just their way of saying

"if you wipe your arse with it after we told you not to, and it disolves your entire sphincter, leaving you with a permanent need for a colostomy bag, it\'s your fault you tit, we are legally ok"

Maybe they just don\'t want you to wipe up after spanking the monkey. Maybe it makes it fall off.

they should take the safety labels off everything and let the problem sort itself out

then johnny-joe-greedy decides to sue the companies we work for, resulting in us getting killed because the CEO decides to explode the building.
