I think the fine print you find on products is sometimes really funny.  It is amazing some of the things you find on labels when you look.  I am sure it is a product of all the lawsuits that go around.  I remember when McDonald's had that little problem because someone spilled coffee on themselves and got burnt.  They sued McDonald's for not letting them know the coffee was hot...
Anyhow I have a potential new regular feature here.  I call it "reading the fine print."  (Like the "May contain nuts" label on a bag of peanuts...)  We will see if it sticks or not.
Today's entry:
I bought a new measuring cup, one of those new angled measuring cups, so you can see the volume being poured while looking from the top.  The front label had a "Dishwasher safe, Microwave Safe*" label on it.  When you followed the asterisk down to the bottom label, you found "Do not microwave fat (oil, butter, etc.) for longer than 4 minutes."
