"someone used a microwave cooker to dry out a poodle ... the manufacturer was
found negligent because he had not stated, in the instructions, that the device
was not to be used for such purposes...."
<snip>

And the sewers of Paris are teeming with giant blind albino alligators. (People
flush their pets down the bog & they've mutated....)

Seriously though, assuming all of the above is true: even in the litigious US
how could "cooker" or "oven" be considered ambiguous? If you put your noodles or
your poodles in a cooker they gets cooked. How much more unambiguous can ya get?
