Charles B. Lewitzke's case was filed in the U.S. District Court in Wisconsin's Eastern District this week. He is seeking unspecified damages from Helen of Troy Ltd., an El Paso, Texas company that owns and markets Brut, and Unilever Home & Personal Care USA, of New Jersey, a division of Conopco Inc., which had previously owned the product.

He washed and shaved in a bathhouse on the camp grounds and applied Brut lotion to his face, neck and chest with his hands. He also used the aerosol deodorant. He then went to a fire pit to cook breakfast.
His face, neck and chest ignited while he was starting the cooking fire, his lawsuit says.

"Our view is there is no warning that after you apply it, you remain flammable for some period of time," Hanrahan told the newspaper. "You aren't thinking, 'I'm still flammable."'

Are people really this Stupid..??
Darwin award pending.
Okay, I’ll say it, why did he need Brut on a camping trip? Was he planning on fighting off the bears are attracting them.
Suits like this are the reason there is a warning on curling irons that says you should not use while sleeping.

warning....do not use near flames etc.....
Anyone who uses such cheap cologne should lose any lawsuit by default. ;)
That is why I wear a combination of High Karate and a liberal splash of Polo and a touch of Old Cannoe!
Especially before breakfast.
What WAS he trying to attract?
His Windsong stays in my mind.
After she was asked for her assessment of the case, Paris Hilton remarked “That’s Hot!”
Oh, my...you can still by that “chit”? I haven’t seen Brut since I was a kid.
You forgot English Leather.
"Stupid is as stupid does."
Figures...Eastern Wisconsin. They probably display Brut in the front window of the finest cheese curd, bait, and pawn shops in town.
"Windsong"? So that's what you call it. If his "windsong" was anything like my old man's "windsong", it would do more than stay on your mind. It'd chase the cows out of the barn and knock flies of the honey wagon. Flammable, too. God forbid.
Canoe is still available? Where?
Brings back fond memories.
I kinda like Aramis Devon.
It has a cedar fragrance, sort of hamster cage. :^)
