GFCI outlet question

tripower

I bought a couple of GFCI outlets for my bathroom. After getting them out of the box I noticed a sticker that states:

Not intended for use in wet and damp locations as defined by 2008 NEC 406.8 requirements.

I was a little perturbed by this and looked up the code and it seems that the code is more referring to outside conditions not bathrooms. Is this correct?

Yes, they are referring to outside locations
Outside requires WR - weather resistant under NEC 2008
