health warning
Risk disclosure notice
A health warning is an official notice about risks to physical well-being, typically required on products like cigarettes or alcohol: The health warning on the pack didn't stop him from smoking.
Extended to any cautionary preface: Health warning: this article contains spoilers.
British English favors this term where American English often uses "warning label."
