Labels In Thai And Hazardous Products.

My wife came home from shopping the other day and I helped unpack things from the car. In one of the bags I found what looked like an ordinary water bottle with Thai writing, the ones with the milky white plastic, not the clear ones. I was on my way to stick it in the fridge when I noticed it was different from the brands I'd seen before. I asked my wife if this was water. She replied "Yes, it's for the car battery."

If I'm not mistaken this kind of water is not harmful as it is rid of minerals and impurities.

I remember a story years ago about Laos refugiees back in Canada who had mistakenly used dishwashing soap for a recipe as they had been misled by the tasty looking lemons on the bottle.

Has anyone ever had a mishap using a product which was not what they believed to be in the package or container?
