NEW YORK, July 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The winners are in - and the list is crazier than ever! The 13th annual Wacky Warning Labels(TM) Contest, which reaches tens of millions of Americans each year, entertains and alarms the nation about the lawsuit-happy culture and the lengths to which companies must go to avoid lawsuits. Here are the winners, as selected by the studio audience for "Stossel" on FOX Business Network, which first aired on July 8:

-- This year's Grand Prize Winner is "Never operate your speakerphone
while driving," a warning attached to the Jabra "Drive 'N' Talk"
speakerphone for use with a mobile cell phone. The label was
submitted by Courtney Pike of Bay City, Michigan, who wins the $1000
grand prize and a copy of Wacky Warning Labels(TM) Contest host Bob
Dorigo Jones' bestselling book, Remove Child Before Folding: 101
Stupidest, Silliest and Wackiest Warning Labels Ever. As Bob says in
his short news video (www.wackywarninglabelstv.com), "That's why we
bought the thing!"
-- The Second Prize Winner is "This product moves when used," a warning
attached to a Razor motorized go-cart.
-- The Third Prize Winner is "Use of a headset that covers both ears will
impair your ability to hear other sounds," a warning on the
Plantronics Bluetooth full headset.

"Once a year, millions of people around the world get a collective laugh from our winners," said Bob Dorigo Jones. "The truth is, this is no laughing matter. In fact, every family of four in America pays a 'litigation tax' of more than $9,000 a year on products and services we buy."
