Unintended error in English messages

1. Warning label on a seal "DO NOT EAT IF SEAL IS MISSING"
(How could we see the warning when the seal is missing?)

2. Label on a bath gel bottle "CLEANS AND REFRESHES WITHOUT SOAP OR WATER" Contains: Water, soap

(Something does not quite add up)

3. On a baby's stroller: "CAUTION: REMOVE INFANT BEFORE FOLDING FOR STORAGE"

(Are there parents who are not very sure about this?)

4. On a coffee cup: "CAUTION: HOT BEVERAGES ARE HOT"

(We know that hot beverages are like that)

5. Warning label on a curling iron

"FOR EXTERNAL USE ONLY"
(Ok, message conveyed- with boggling mind)
