a lawsuit by a Massachusetts woman who says she got stomach cramps and had to use the bathroom quickly after eating the snacks. Let her show damages.
Personally, I'd let her sue, and simply use every opportunity to let the public know this silly twit sued over diarrhea.

Its director of litigation, Stephen Gardner, accused Frito-Lay of trying to hide the consequences of eating products with olestra despite more than 20,000 consumer complaints.
And despite about a million news reports about olestra causing diarrhea.

I avoid oileakstra products, but I thought they already
had the warnings.

Not to be too graphic here, but I used to buy the olestra chips. On the back of the package there is/was a warning that stated...
"may cause rectal seepage".
At the time I was trying to be healthier, but if I was going to have to deal with that as a side effect, I didn't really eat that many chips to make it worth the benefits and extra cost.

The Frito-Lay website still shows Olestra on the label:

I, um, knew this two days after the product was released. This was a well-known side-effect of rapid eating of this stuff. But what kind of idiot sues over it?

There's all kinds of unwanted digestive output she could sue over. Is she going to sue Hormel to put warning labels on cans of chili? Baked beans? Bean dip?
To: TFFKAMM
She just now found out about this? It's been known ever since it came out that this was a possible side effect.

If she thinks this is bad, consider the "weight loss" drug Xenical.
I have patients who ask me about this stuff and I inform them that it is guaranteed to cause "intestinal urgency" and skid marks in their drawers.
Haven't written a prescription for it yet.
Then again, if you knew you were going to mess your pants with every meal it would probably cut down on your food consumption...

So, she shouldn't eat a whole bag of them at one sitting.
That said, anyone who eats "food" with so many ingredients you need a magnifying glass, 10 minutes, and a technical dictionary to read them, gets what they deserve.
To: TFFKAMM
Hmmm...stop eating the chips or find a sleazebag lawyer and sue Frito - Lay...choices, choices.
Another life lottery player, I hope she gets skunked.
