Silly Deodorant Warning Label Observation (Labelling Regulation Gone Mad?)
Channel: Daily Insight
Date: 26/09/2019

I was reading an article yesterday on the ABC titled, “Chroming will 'dissolve the brain like melting plastic', experts warn amid resurgence”, about the recent spate of solvent misuse by young children in Australia. But one thing that I found particularly funny about the article was the picture they supplied. Apparently in the UK, cans of deodorant etc. have to have a warning label on them stating, “⚡SOLVENT ABUSE CAN KILL INSTANTLY⚡” with two lightning bolts on either side. That’s not the funny part. Despite it being potentially lethal, the next label states, “Suitable for vegetarians”. What?! They’re either saying that vegetarians are immune to the effects of solvent abuse, or it’s okay if vegetarians put their lives at risk by misusing deodorant. Which is it?
