9. On most brands of Christmas lights:

"For indoor or outdoor use only."

(As opposed to underwater?)

is what was on the list. the key word there is OR.
what the label was saying can be explained by this example: don't plug the cord into a socket in your house and run the lights through a crack in the front door. (we've all done it, but we shouldn't). the temperature difference can cause the cord to expand so much that it snaps, leaving you with a live wire setting fire to your house.
just thought i'd let everyone know

Actually some people probably would try to run them underwater so that is a good warning.

SOMEONE's into Christmas lights. Still, that does make sense.

Yeah, they probably avoided a few law suites with that one.
