Auro-Dri - Ear Drying Aid

So a friend of mine had water in her ear and needed some ear drops.  Luckily, I just happened to have ear drops in my cabinet!  But how many drops do we use?  What are the directions?  Let's just turn the bottle on over and read the helpful information!  Auro-Dri, you brought this upon yourself.  



Now if you're having trouble reading this, let me just highlight a direct quote for you:  "Warnings:  Flammable.  Keep away from fire or flame.  Do not use in the eyes."   What in the hell are you even saying?!  Fire OR flame?  How do you get a fire sans flame?  Ok, Crazy McCrazy.  

Then you tell people to not use the ear drops in their eyes.  I get that some people are complete idiots who need this kind of disclaimer (although, it's insulting to anyone who functions above a third grade level), so I was willing to let it slide, but when we decided to call your 800# to ask how we too can become wizards who can separate fire from flame, we received a recorded message saying that your offices were closed (boo!).  BUT the message did say that if we called due to an emergency (let's say that we went ahead and flushed our eyes with ear drops or something devastating like that), we could go ahead and hang up and call some 1-888#.  Really?  I have hypothetically put EAR DROPS in my EYES!  1-888-blahblahblahblah?  NO, Auro-Dri.  No.  If you're going to place this product in the hands of someone who may be dumb enough to put these drops in their eyes, have the decency to actually help them by telling them to call 911.

Who approved this?!
