They would probably counter-sue you for clearly not following the instructions on their packaging.

Panic Button

No, just send them to me next time.

I would be happy to help you stay on the right side of the law.

Advertisers get round this sort of thing by saying it is an obvious humourous reference and nobody would take it seriously.

They got lots of complaints.
