I would go for something simple and clear. ‘Dangerous’ might be a tad overstated for some things. How about ‘unsafe goods’.
Apart from that, there is the Dog and Lemon guide category ‘Avoid like the plague!

You can’t use Dangerous Goods, or Miscellaneous Dangerous Goods as already mentioned by Draughtrider. These have specific meaning in legislation and regulations, nationally and state by state. The word Hazardous also has specific OH&S meaning in legislation and regulations.
Using them could at best be confusing, and at worst be misleading or contrary to regulations, depending on what is being described.

I vote for PhilT’s yellow triangle with an exclamation mark, but suggest the wording be changed to “Potential safety risk”. This wording would be an accurate statement, and less liable to litigation claims.

Good point. By the same logic, the various variations on “buyer beware” should similarly be ruled out.
