You never know when child labor will come back in style. My kids use that to keep from doing their chores...ARG! |

Its just the law because it can cause drowsiness... and lets face it there are a lot of stupid adults out there who might take children's Tylenol and think that because it is the children's version it will not cause drowsiness... Winnebago has in its drivers manual not to put the motor home on cruise control and then get up and go to the bathroom -- because some idiot actually did it! |

Lawsuits. Protection from lawsuits like when someone leaves a bottle full open for a kid to swallow. |

Presumably because operating heavy machinery after administering a dose to your child would be viewed as neglect!? Nice spot. Even better spot Rhino_ |

Because of stupid people who have sued the Tylenol company for stupid reasons. That's why Starbucks and McDonals have a warning label that says Caution Coffee maybe hot. |

Heavy machinery could be a keyboard or a CD player with Nine Inch Nails on it. |

The law regulates what companies put on labels......so they have to put that on anything with those ingredients. |

We can thank the lawyers for requiring all these warnings. I say we file a class-action suit against them! |

It must be down to protecting the company against law suits.Like the one Jeremy mentioned on top gear a few Weeks back about the fellow who bought the moter home and went in the back to make a cup of tea and obviously crashed.Then as Americans tend too he sued stating he thought it basically could drive itself and it was not posted anywhere that it couldn't perform this feet.If you follow me.Also adults do take it as someone else mentioned. |

Yes, it's funny. I think drug manufacturers bend over backward so as not to get sued. In relation to another answer here, Tylenol can cause liver damage but only if the dosage recommendations are exceeded. So do not give higher doses or give more often than the package recommends. |

some adults wont swallow pills so they double or triple up on kids meds thats why |

Uh, adults can take those, too. It's not against the law. And they would certainly get sued otherwise. |

So they don't get sued when adults take the kids Tylenol and decide to do something stupid. |

Thats funny. I wounder why they put it on there. I guess it could have something to do with kids driving those Hot Wheels cars. But I really dont' know, but it is funny |
