From Rachel Dugdale
Nils Erik Grande says he found a label on a liquid ginseng bottle simply
telling him to remove it before placing it in the microwave
(Feedback, 9 January).
This kind of thing is not exclusive to Norway. When my dad bought a
new toilet a while back, there was a fairly large clear plastic label stuck to
the back, the only label on it, saying in about 10 different languages: “Please
remove this label before use.”
We also couldn’t see any reason for it, as it wasn’t even covering anything
which needed to be exposed (or protected in transport). I think it’s something
along the lines of the three or so pages we usually get at the back of exam
papers just saying “Blank page”.
