Full Title: Harry Reid Lawsuit Against Exercise Band Manufacturer ‘Opens the Doors’ To His Bathroom, Medical and Bank Records

Senator Harry Reid (D-NV) filed a lawsuit against the manufacturer of an exercise band that he claims “broke or slipped” while “mounted to a sturdy object in his bathroom” as he used it on January 1, causing injuries that blinded in him one eye.

“The lawsuit is really going to open the doors if the company’s defense counsel wants to go after Harry Reid,” an attorney and expert on product liability tells Breitbart News.

“Through the discovery process they can get access to his bathroom (where this allegedly happened) medical records, records from his protective detail and much of Reid’s personal information such as bank records,” the expert says.

The civil liability complaint in which the 75-year-old Reid and his wife, Landra Gould, are suing Hygenic Intangible Property Holding Company, The Hygenic Corporation, and Performance Health, LLC, three intertwined corporations that manufacture and distribute the TheraBand exercise band, was filed in Clark County, Nevada District Court by Reid’s attorney, James M. Morgan of the Las Vegas law firm Lanzone, Morgan LLP on Wednesday.

His bank records, huh?

I'm surprised his lawyers didn't warn him of this possibility.

I believe he'll drop the lawsuit citing some BS reason.

[Da Coyote]

The only thing that should be in that dork’s bedroom is the black robed figure with a scythe.

[sparklite2]

There hasn’t been a sturdy object
in Reid’s bathroom in thirty years.

[skeeter]

Hilarious. Just like Mr Cleanface to lie about how he was injured but to try to cash in on the lie.

[dp0622]

if he does go through with it, i would think they would settle out of court.

i dont think any corporation wants the most sinister, diabolical, evil person in the senate as an enemy.

[Vaquero]

The fact that either the ‘Mob’ or his brother kicked the crap outta him needs to see the light of day Sue away dumbass (pronounced ‘dumas’)

[Chode]

let me get this straight, it's an elastic band with no metal or moving parts... the old fool opened his mouth and is going to get a real sh!t sammich to put in it before this is over

i agree, the senile old prick will drop the case like a hot rock in the near future

[Logical me]

Ars hole is to stupid to use exercise apparatus safely. What a dork.

[UCANSEE2]

This... this is what punched out his eye, then punched him in the face, then broke his ribs ( or caused same).

[W.]

Reid won't admit he got whooped by a rubber band.

But, that's OK, he'll act like a punk thug democrat and extort a wad of cash to make him feel like a big man for a minute.

Best he stay from rubber bands, though...might be one out there with his name on it.

....but I thought this is why he was suing......

ROFLMAO.....

I guess the observation that if it really happened he would have sued got to him.

[edwinland]

How could he not know whether it “broke or slipped”? Is it broken or not? It’s just a rubber band; it’s not an airplane where we have to wait for an FAA analysis to figure out what happened. Just look at it.

[Parmy]

I am surprised that he would bring up the lack of conjugal relations as a reason for suing, especially since he is 75. But, of course, I am naive.

[PROCON]

I guess the observation that if it really happened he would have sued got to him.

Either I'm dyslectic or the last part of that sentence escapes me.

[Darksheare]

When it “happened”, he didn’t pursue a lawsuit.
Mockery and suspicion ensued.
So he has to pursue a lawsuit or reveal that he got his butt handed to him with fists and feet.
(I still like the shoe print on his face.)

[oblomov]

Let me guess:

The mob that did this to him has a controlling stake in the company.

They’ll “settle” to cover their tracks, and his.

[PROCON]

Yeah, I think either his drunk brother or a Vegas mafia stooge visited Harry on New Year’s Eve.

Those exercise bands are manufactured from natural latex in varying thicknesses, color coded in a trademarked progression from yellow to gold so the person using them can increase the resistance gradually as they become stronger. It's the same principal as a weight lifter adding a bit of weight at a time as his repetitions go beyond the (usually) 8 to 10 reps he's able to perform at a given load. The lowest resistance bands, yellow, are extremely thin. Even the slightest tear can cause the band to break and that's why the manufacturer cautions in writing about inspecting them before every use. Natural latex is also highly sensitive to UV exposure, even from interior lighting, becoming brittle with age, meaning they need to be inspected and replaced on a regular basis.

The manufacturer also cautions against any exercise that would be done with the band being pulled toward the face. And finally, every band is sold with instructions on how, in lieu of the handles they can supply separately recommended for elderly patients with weak hands, to wrap the band several times around the hand to secure it properly and prevent slippage. Now Reid is saying the band either broke or slipped. Well, which was it? In either case the instructions for use must not have been followed. And it has been on that basis that no one who has ever suffered an accident using the product has ever had a successful outcome in any lawsuit.
