Remember the woman who sued McDonalds a few years ago because she got hot scalding coffee on her out of a cup of hot coffee that she had purchased? This next story from the Fox website must be about one of her relatives. (linked via title bar)“MIAMI — A woman who was allegedly severely burned by flaming rum during a Bacardi promotion sued the wine and spirits producer, claiming the product was defective and dangerous.”
{. . . }
“A bartender, who was not identified in the lawsuit, was pouring shots when a customer lit a menu on fire and placed it in the stream of alcohol. A bottle of Bacardi 151 that was being used to pour the shots turned into a flame thrower and sent flaming rum all over Alleyne, the lawsuit said.”
Imagine that, alcohol is flammable. I’m not making light of the injuries or the fact that the woman has a legitimate complaint against somebody; however, while there may be cause for a lawsuit, wouldn’t the natural target be the irresponsible customer who set the menu on fire and caused the problem? My guess is that person isn’t rich enough to sue so they’re going after a target with deep pockets.
That same lawyer is waiting for a chance to file suit on Shell Oil Refineries, hoping some bozo throws lighted piece of paper past a gas pump nozzle while one of his future clients is filling the tank. After the explosion he plans to explain how Shell gasoline is defective and dangerous. I got news, the only thing defective is the lawyer filing frivolous lawsuits in the hope of hitting a jury awarded lottery jack pot.
