Instructions on packages

This morning I was baking a birthday cake for a friend. I was looking at the package of birthday candles and noticed on the back the instructions: “extinguish candle before throwing away.”
I find that rather frightening that such instructions are necessary.
“Keep out of the reach of children and pets” I can understand.
Don’t you wonder what incidents happened before they decided to print those words?

I was just thinking about this and wanted to share it with the group.
