Oops! Labo was almost landfill at the German ratings board
It seems that Nintendo Labo threw a lot of people with its announcement, but perhaps the funniest is that the German Ratings Board, the Entertainment Software Self-Regulation Body or USK had no idea what Labo was when it arrived, as it was almost thrown out.
ENDLICH können wir die Anekdote erzählen, wie die neueste Nintendo-Hardware einmal beinahe von der Reinigungskraft als Altpapier entsorgt wurde ??? (die Geschichte hätte uns vorher eh niemand geglaubt ?) #NintendoLabo

Here is the translation by Google
FINALLY, we can tell the anecdote, as the newest Nintendo hardware was almost once disposed of by the cleaning staff as waste paper (the story would have never believed us before ) #NintendoLabo
That would have been a very awkward call back to Nintendo once it was discovered, thankfully though, it sounds like the team caught it, before it went out for recycling.
Nintendo Labo is out here on April 20th, you can learn all about it right here.
