    Shouldn’t be allowed to exist. This removes the terror and fear of seeing an actual Co-60 rod and may kill someone.

    Never abuse warning labels for comedic effect. This is deadly.

      A few years ago, there was a news story about a guy driving with radiation warning labels on his car for fun. He got fined HARD because he wasn’t certified for that or had the permits .

      Doesn’t matter if you don’t have actual radioactive material. That shit is illegal for a good reason.

      Yeah, wasn’t a source lost on the side of the road in Australia a year or two ago where anyone could have picked it up if they didn’t know better

        Yes, 3 years ago.

        These things are no joke. Proper labeling is no joke. They found it at some point. Just went where they had been and used a Geiger counter.

      Yep. The only reason it should exist is for a demonstration piece, to say if you see it to drop it and run, and inform the proper authorities.

        In this case it should also have engraved something like " not actually cobalt just a security training mock"
