Description says
"Hips and 1 Blue Left Leg, 1 Red Right Leg"
Hips
can only have one left and one right leg. So maybe number 1 should be removed.
Or description changed to something like
"Hips with blue and red legs"

You can request that with this form:
https://www.bricklink.com/catalogReq.asp?itemType=P
But don't remove the left and right words, they are needed as there could
be hips with the same colors inverted.

So...what would the correct wording be?

The 1 is an unnecessary keyword as you cannot search for 1 anyway, although you
can search for "1".
Instead of 'Hips and 1 Blue Left Leg, 1 Red Right Leg' you could change
to 'Hips and Blue Left Leg, Red Right Leg'. That still allows searches
for "blue left leg" that will find such parts with a blue left leg but not a
blue right leg or a red left leg. But you should do all similar hip and leg combinations
to avoid inconsistencies in naming.
PS. It is not quite true to say that the hips component can only have
one left leg and one right leg. They can actually have two left legs or two right
legs, in which case the feet point in different directions. I don't think
any have been officially made that way, but it is a possibility. It is the same
with torsos, you can put on two right or left arms. Complete minifigures made
with two left legs and two left arms (or right versions) look a bit weird, but
are possible.
There is also inconsistency in pirate peg leg names. Most follow this format,
saying the left remains but not right peg leg (strange they are always
right peg legs, not left):
although some remove the word pirate
but this one mentions it is a right peg leg and splits the "peg leg"
so a search for peg leg works but "peg leg" doesn't. The wording for that
last one is really awkward, using four adjectives to describe the leg. Orange
Pirate Peg Right Leg. I would have gone for Orange Right Peg Leg or with Pirate
too if necessary, or even removing the right as for most other peg legs. I have
never heard anyone refer to a peg right leg, splitting the commonly used term
peg leg.

Just a small correction: minifigs with two left legs and two left arms are indeed
a bit weird, but the alternative isn't weird, it's actually all right!
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.

It’s alright, don’t hesitate if you have anyone of those left.
