Those stickers were banned, and rightfully so, because they were largely meant to discourage users from doing their own repairs and maintenance in order to drive up the purchase of replacements.
Remember the “Under penalty of law, this tag not to be removed” on a mattress? Changed to “…except by consumer.”. My brother tore his off and showed be, thinking I’d think him a tough guy. I told him I was going to turn him in and the penalty was life in prison. I even made a phone call to the FBI (really the local time and temperature). He cried and screamed like a little girl. Boy, did my parents get mad! Yeah, I was a rotten kid. me and my brother are very close now but he gets mad when I tell the Tag Story
That’s silly. Who would want to avoid a warranty anyway? Unless it’s one of those scammy extended warranties. I’m sick and tired of false information being bandied about as if.. oh, you said void, not avoid. ~ Emily Litella, into the cooking wine.

Actually, the stickers aren’t illegal at all, and they do their intended job of keeping unqualified bozos out of where they really shouldn’t be. What is illegal is denying a warranty claim based on the removal.
Interesting about the Warranty sticker. It’s been noted that there are so many regulations on the books that the average person commits 3 felonies per day without realizing it. And we’re the “land of the free”.
While taxiing at London Gatwick, the crew of a US Air flight departing for Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. An irate female ground controller lashed out at the US Air crew, screaming: “US Air 2771, where the hell are you going! I told you to turn right onto Charlie taxiway! You turned right on Delta! Stop right there. I know it’s difficult for you to tell the difference between ‘C’ and ‘D’, but get it right!” Continuing her rage to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically: “God! Now you’ve screwed everything up! It’ll take forever to sort this out! You stay right there and don’t move till I tell you to! You can expect progressive taxi instructions in about half an hour, and I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you! You got that, US Air 2771?” “Yes ma’am,” the humbled crew responded. Naturally, the ground control communications frequency fell terribly silent after the verbal bashing of US Air 2771. Nobody wanted to chance engaging the irate ground controller in her current state of mind. Tension in every cockpit out in Gatwick was definitely running high. Just then an unknown pilot broke the silence and keyed his microphone, asking: “You sound familiar. Wasn’t I married to you once?”

Moshe’s pineapple feat was good but the most amazing thing was what he did with a pair of walnuts! Believe it or not!

If you marry in Montana in the winter, everyone might be safer sending proxies, like maybe polar bears, or penguins.

Does Guinness recognize that run as a stupid world record? Fastest marathon with a pineapple on your head.

What about those mattress tags that say “Do not remove under penalty of law”?

The warranty sticker – is that just a ploy to companies to get out of honoring their product?

Regarding warranties …. Watch the Aussie movie staring Billy Connolly, “The Man Who Sued God”. Good for a laugh and “Many a true word said in jest”.
