I'm not a fan of frivolous lawsuits, but this is not one of them. You are correct.
I read somewhere that popcorn manufacturers have agreed to change their formulas sometime in the next few years to eliminate this hazard. So they know about this hazard, but are too cheap to do anything about it. Oh, and they didn't bother to warn the public.
Yep, the consumer was right about this one.
Flour needs to immediately be recalled, and huge warning labels need to be put on every bag, warning that the contents may be hazardous if inhaled in large quantities. It can lead to bacterial infections and lung disease. Manufacturers have known about this problem for over a hundred years and they have conspired to keep this knowledge hidden from the public. Every baker should be immediately awarded a 3 million dollar class action benefit.
Or at least open a window.
No rule should ever be made for the exception. No law, no lawsuit, nothing. The exception IS the exception.
I’d be of a completely different mind if this guy worked in the factory making the stuff and the company refused the use of at least a face mask. But this guy went out of his way to consistently overexpose himself.
The jury was wrong, once again, taking money from others to give to a complete idiot who did this to himself.
Coffee is SUPPOSED to be hot, snacks are SUPPOSED to be eaten in moderation, and when you scald yourself or wreck your lungs doing stupid things, the fault lays with the idiot who did it.
Can’t wait for the ‘fire log’ lawsuits to start...
