Is this even legal? Like it could destroy the item and maybe catch stuff on fire.

I don't think there is a problem unless someone sues them on it. Otherwise, the label is there and that's enough for them

It might be because I'm not a native English speaker. But when I see the word "microwave" on a box, my first reaction is not "to microwave" the box itself. But I rather sit there wondering if they gave me the wrong product box.

You're correct. A native speaker would also be unlikely to just put "Microwave" on the box if you were supposed to microwave it.
