If you shop at Costco, Top Class Actions dot com indicated that 79,000 pounds of butter is being recalled .... NOT that it is contaminated, but that milk allergen information is missing.   

Smarty pants question:   

Do people REALLY need to be told that butter comes from milk?  

[Marp]

Since an iron has to carry a hot label I would say yes, butter needs a milk warning.

This issue is such a waste of good food that could be used by people who are hungry and struggling.

Common sense no longer is the norm.  I would just slap a sticker on the box that says the contents contain milk.  

I wish I could get my hands on some of that recalled butter before it is destroyed.  I could use some for Christmas baking.

It makes me sick to see food recalled for label information missing.  I do hope it is recalled, relabeled and donated, but I doubt it.  

Iron HOT?  Really?  Unbelievable what the government thinks it has to tell us these days.  None of us would be alive if we were in need of most "needed" information today.

I especially liked the warning in the user manual for the two-slice toaster I bought recently :  Electrical hazard!! Not to be used when immersed in water! Do not use in bathtub or pool!

So, who would be putting their bread or an English muffin in the toaster while they're in the bathtub??? Who really needs that kind of warning?

Do you want to know how much stuff I have purchased with the "California warning"...while I lived in California.

Good grief...do they think people are going to EAT the Christmas tree....

In the cases of possible food allergens I think the labeling is federally mandated. 

When it comes to non-food consumer product labeling I believe most, if not all, are voluntary as a result of personal injury litigation and outrageous jury awards.

You always think warning labels are unnecessary, then you see people doing stupid stuff, like climbing into a tiger's cage to take a selfie, and you realize how incredibly stupid some people are.

The experts say the IQ in developed countries is falling. Well, yeah. We've made it too hard for the really stupid people to kill themselves. Now they're reproducing and making more stupid people. 

You used to need to be pretty smart to survive. You had to know how to grow and raise food. How to avoid wild animals. How to safely store and prepare food. What was poisonous and what wasn't. If you messed up, you would die. Now even the dumbest people live long and reproduce.

Evolution favored those who were smarter. We've now made a world that's so safe, even the dumbest morons live long lives and pass on their stupidity. We've largely removed intelligence as a favorable evolutionary trait.

@Desertdi Well, the warning is for cats.  Who WILL try to eat the tree.  And knock it over.
