Repop jack
A couple of months ago I bought a repop jack for my 64. I finally desided to unpack it and install it in the car. A warning was included that it shouldn't be used to jack the car. It's the same as the original. I don't plan to use it but I did use the original jacks many years ago. Is the manufacturer just protecting themselves or is there something I missed.

Re: Repop jack (8notenough)
sounds like a disclaimer to me. there are so many labels required on products after the McDonalds coffee burn type litigation you hardly even need to paint anything anymore.

Re: Repop jack (half-a-62)
Thanks to the lawyers, EVERYTHING has warning labels now; a local TV station ran a contest last week for viewers to send in the "silliest warning labels" they came across. Two they showed last night - a fireplace gas log set that said "Warning - Fire Danger", and a box of birthday cake candles that said "Warning - not to be inserted in body cavities" :eek:
