What is the "WARNING: DO NOT..." label that is most often ignored?
 
The warning label on the Q-Tip box. “Do not insert swab into ear canal,”
 
Not one that appears on a lot of things but a few do tend to have "do not keep near sunlight" warnings. That definitely gets ignored quite a bit.
 
Please drink responsibly.
 
The warning posted before a movie, "The unauthorized reproduction or distribution of this copyrighted work is illegal. Criminal copyright infringement is investigated by federal law enforcement agencies and is punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a fine of $250,000."

That stupid warning on nerf guns that tells you not to shoot them at people.

Uh, okay, sure.

I prefer to buy the movie on BluRay over stealing it. I think piracy is really unfair to the actors and the people who work really hard to bring us top notch entertainment.

I agree 100%. I stream most of the movies I watch now. ...but yes when it comes to DVD's and Bluerays - people don't pay much attention to that warning.
 
Same here, I pay for the streaming services so in turn the actors get paid ;)
 
"Do not eat raw cookie dough."

Honest question to anyone: Why not?

I'd guess maybe there is a tiny risk of salmonella or other bacterial poisoning from raw eggs in it, and if they tell you not to eat it and you do and are the incredibly rare person who gets food poisoning then you can't sue them.
