All up in your grill..
We are about to start selling liquid at our kiosk. I am concerned about some of the mall shoppers being irresponsible. So I have decided to require all liquid customers to sign a disclaimer (for their own protection) before they can buy. This is my first draft. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Congratulations on your decision to use electronic cigarette products!

Liquid nicotine products are intended for adult use only. Do not drink the liquid as it is toxic when consumed orally. Avoid contact with eyes. Keep the liquid out of the reach of children and animals. Use gloves when handling. Store in a cool dry place and keep out of direct contact with sunlight. These products are not sold as a cessation device and are not intended to diagnose or treat any illness. These products have not been evaluated by the FDA. Please use them responsibly. All sales are final.

By signing you agree that you have read and will abide by the information above and that you are over 18 years of age.

I would probably drop this last line, "If you kill a man? You're a murderer! Kill many? Then you're a conquerer! Kill them all? Your the FDA!!!! "

Seriously, though, have you run this past an attorney?

Why are you saying "is toxic" when drank, instead of 'may' be toxic?

By signing you agree that you have read and will abide by the information above and that you are over 18 years of age...
I might add
... you are buying this for your own personal use
... you will be using this at your own risk

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! Definitely some good ideas. The disclaimer isn't really so much about me worrying we are gonna get sued but making sure the customers know that eliquid is not a toy and that they need to keep it away from their kids and to be careful while using it. I feel as though if they read it and sign off on it they might take the warning more seriously. Then if I just tell them: "hey be careful."

However, in this day and age it's wise to worry about getting sued. :)
I'm not a lawyer, but it looks good. I would suggest spending a few hundred to run it past one, just to be extra safe. It never hurts to be extra-prepared.

One of my customers is a lawyer and looked it over for me today. =) She says it's ok. I am using a couple of those suggestions though =)
