Heat gun wins 'Wackiest Label' tag in US

A warning that consumers shouldn’t use a heat gun that produces temperatures of 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit (540 degrees Celsius) as a hairdryer has won an American anti-lawsuit group’s award for the wackiest label of the year.

The Wacky Warning Label Contest, in its ninth year, is conducted by Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch as part of an effort to poke fun at the US’ litigious tendencies and show the effects of lawsuits on warning labels.
