The Wacky Warning
Label Contest, now in it’s ninth year, is conducted by Michigan
Lawsuit Abuse Watch, M-LAW, to reveal how lawsuits, and concern
about lawsuits, have created a need for common sense warnings on
products.
The winning labels
were selected from a list of M-LAW’s finalists by listeners of
the Dick Purtan show on Detroit radio station, WOMC-FM. The
label on the heat gun was found by Tom Brunelle of Holland,
Michigan. He receives $500 and a copy of the national
bestselling book, “The Death of Common Sense,” by Philip K.
Howard.

Formed as a
non-partisan, grassroots organization,
Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch
(M-LAW)
serves as a public watchdog over our court system.
M-LAW's goal is to eliminate the many negative effects that
lawsuit abuse has on families, job providers and communities.
Excessive litigation has robbed consumers of needed products and
services and has added a hidden "lawsuit tax" onto countless
other products and services
M-LAW was created by
concerned citizens who believe it's time to stop the lawsuit
"lottery" and restore common sense to our courts. M-LAW's
supporters include consumers, job providers, professionals,
community leaders and taxpayers.
M-LAW's supporters
strongly believe all victims have a right to due process of law
and just compensation. However, we believe junk lawsuits are
corrupting our civil justice system and have made a mockery of
the principle of personal responsibility in some of our courts.
If you agree, we urge you to become an M-LAW supporter. With
your help, we will prove that the principles of personal
responsibility and fairness still have a place in all of our
courts.
M-LAW's broad base of
support has been critical to our success. We welcome the support
of all who visit this website but wish to draw your attention to
two restrictions we have voluntarily placed on our funding.
M-LAW accepts no funding from tobacco companies or
tobacco-related interests, and the amount of money M-LAW can
accept from insurance companies and related interests has been
limited to less than 10% of our budget. M-LAW receives no
funding from the government. M-LAW's finances are audited
annually and our compliance with these restrictions has been
verified by Michigan's largest accounting firm.
Below you will find a
graph (in PDF format) which reveals there has been a significant
decline in tort lawsuits in Michigan since legal reform was
signed into law by former Michigan Governor John Engler.
