'Product Warning Labels" printed on each football helmet seem about as futile as warning labels on cigarette packages, or instructions on a shampoo bottle.
I suppose this is a government requirement , but couldn't they be printed on the inside of the helmet?
And seriously, does this label really protect the manufacturer from any litigious action ? Like they will be able to defend themselves by stating the injured player did not follow the instructions on the label ? <?#@?>

In addition, how can a player read the warning label when it's at the back of his head? :D

Assuming it has to be visible each time the pick it up to put it on. I wonder if they still have the coaches read it to the players every year

Instructions unclear. I have been in the shower for 25 years, constantly shampooing, rinsing and repeating.
This one is easy, I have found you continue this until bottle is empty. At which point instructions must be complete. Until you go pick up another bottle and shower again, the cycle starts over.
If you pick up the small travel size bottles it really helps limit the number of times you must repeat. Those giant size bottles are the worst. ;)
