NY and other states, desperately needs income, so AG's have decided to become class action lawyers filing massive frivolous lawsuits.
I guess that they refused her shake down.
It may belong to the purchaser however it could still be the manufacturer’s and seller’s responsibility in the case of product liability.
I haven’t reviewed this particular complaint yet so I don’t know which theories of liability are being asserted.
Because Coca Cola is Woke-a-cola. They virtue signaled. Think I’ll have a Pepsi
Was thinking the same thing. We are punishing makers for the actions of the consumers. Unreal.
Democrats want to crush personal responsibility
lol - “Why don’t you gentlemen have a Pepsi?”
Unchallenged.
I’m pretty sure the bottles say “please recycle” on them... they also likely have the type of plastic used imprinted, a de facto “warning” about their hazards. If NY is like CA there is a tax paid for single use containers, which can be refunded at least in part to people who return them to recyclers. Unless that money just goes to the state’s general ‘hire more government employees’ fund.
Sure if a company knowingly or through negligence makes a dangerous product they can be held liable (except for covid vaccines) but generally when you buy something the rights to it belong to the purchaser. Hard to imagine what PepsiCo can do to prevent the purchaser from throwing a bottle in the river... especially if it contains a message.
Can’t believe she actually took time away from her pursuit of Trump.
She must have found someone at Pepsi with a maga hat on and decided to go after them
When I first read this, I thought this was from the Babylon Bee!
Don’t think so. This is just grandstanding in Buffalo. After all, it is right next-door to Niagara Falls and Love Canal. Maybe should go after the tabacco companies for all the cigarette butts droped on the ground. How about all the tire companies for the rubber compound polluting the land with rubber compounds worn off tires. Shakespeare’s quote about killing all the lawyers in the event of a revolution is perhaps a leading cause for having another revolution. The same could be said for politicians, used car salesmen, ad infinitum.
Is she talking about cans and bottles? This is madness, total insanity.
This is actually GREAT news. It means all the big companies in New York will know she has to go.
“No company is too big”
No ego is too big for this black female AG (untouchable)
-fJRoberts-
Highly political, public shake-downs have become a norm for NY AGs seeking higher office. its at least a 50 year tradition. Its really a form of corruption
Robert Abrams
Elliot Spitzer
Andrew Cuomo
Eric Schneiderman (was hoisted on his own petard)
now, Letitia James
She’s an idiot and the case has no standing at all.
When is someone going to investigate her?
“”And at the end of the day people that produce things have a responsibility for the things that they produce””
Only one thing for sure and that’s politicians and AG’s don’t have any fear of producing anything except BS and I don’t know where that’s piled!
