Answers:

Mouthwash is mostly water and alcohol. You'll find that most medicinal/home aid substances that you can swallow (even toothpaste) bears this warning.

It's a legal catch-all by the manufacturer, but it does not indicate that the substance in question is actually dangerous, just that it might be a bad idea to consume it in large quantities.
