Cautions

To keep seedlings from growing leggy and spindly, it helps to provide them with a gentle breeze. We have acquired some small fans.
  1. This product is not a children's toy, for children under 10 years old, please use under the supervision of a guardian.
  2. Please do not knock this product, otherwise it will cause internal damage.
  3. Please do not occupy this product in a fire to avoid the risk of explosion.
  4. If the product becomes abnormally hot or deformed during using, please stop charging immediately.
  5. Please do not use this product in a twisted environment (such as a bathroom) to avoid short circuit damage.
  6. If abnormal phenomena are found (such as burnt smell or abnormal sound, etc), please cut off the power supply immediately, please do not disassemble or modify it without authorization.
  7. Please do not put the product into the fire to avoid the risk of explosion.
  8. During the operation of the fan, do not insert your fingers and sharp objects into the mesh cover to avoid personal injury or damage to the fan.

It has apparently similar instructions in other languages, and yes, the French version expects the bathroom to be "twisted" as well. I am trying to picture that.

I suspect that neither English nor French may have been the writer's first language.
