OK so I was doing some further research on goggles for use in water, and I'm seeing that these instructions aren't so ridiculous after all. Oh boy, you really have to pay attention to labels.Today I bought goggles for use at my swimming lessons. It came with a ominous warning: "Do NOT dive into the water wearing goggles."
That's strange. Now I'm left wondering if I should just allow the chlorine water to burn my eyes.
WARNING: "DOES NOT PROVIDE PROTECTION IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT. " What kind of accident is it referring to? I'm really hoping it will not let any water get into my eyes...it doesn't seem so because it gives instructions on how to remove water from the eye cups. Really, what is the use of this thing?
It also states: "USE ONLY UNDER COMPETENT SUPERVISION." Did I buy goggles or something else?

Can you swim? I'm just learning. It's scary.Yes, provisions must be made for the goggles to be held in place while going into water abruptly (like diving). They will upset and drag across your face possibly disorienting you enough to impair your safety.![]()

The sad thing is I know a few people who NEED those last two warnings. They would use a match to try to see how much gas is in the tank and they would let their kids play in a dishwasher.Here are a few from Readers Digest.:
Warning on baby stroller- remove baby before folding
On carpenter's electric drill - not intended for dental use
On a jet ski - never use flame or match to check fuel level
On dishwasher - do not allow children to play in dishwasher
