Reminds me of two really stupid product suits brought against manufacturers.
1). The Ametek “Big Boy” washing machine was huge, in laundromats and a big favorite with the Army. Front Load, stick your arm in and try to grab wet clothes before it stops spinning and you might lose everything up to the shoulder.
They pay a clown to find and remove them all to stop the liability suits. Clown re-sells some he was paid to remove and guess what, the deep pockets get sued, not the clown.
Worse, the machines had been “fixed” so the drum wouldn’t stop spinning when the door was opened.
2. Guy injures himself trimming his hedge with a gas powered lawnmower and sues the manufacturer because there was no warning label telling him not to pick it and try to trim a hedge with it.
This stuff didn’t happen yesterday, both cases are from the ‘70s IIRC.
Eagles2003... I recall reading about a lawsuit (also in the ‘70s, I think) where parents of a young child and their ambulance chaser sued a ceiling fan manufacturer.
They were awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars by some dumb ass jurors. The suit was brought because the fan in their house did not have a warning label that indicated the blades could cause injury when running.
The injury occurred because the brainless dad was standing up and tossing his toddler up in the air a bit, like most of us dads have done. However, this idiot tossed the kid into the running ceiling fan and caused bad head injuries.
They walk among us... and they breed.
