  Suing with no legitimate chance of winning and all the evidence against her? Sounds familiar.

  

Nothing would surprise me.  The MSDS for this product shows the following: "Intended Use of the Product Adhesive for metal, wood, ceramics, leather, paper, most plastics and more", the entire "and more" thing could be vague enough for a lawyer to argue.  However I agree, a lawsuit appears to be quite frivolous.

Who has she sued recently?

 

I should be more surprised Gorilla Glue girl has raised over $9000 but I'm not.

Wonder if that was her plan all along.

Sounds like she has a wooden head.

  The "idiot defense" rarely works. It's going to be hard to convince a judge that a 40 year old person doesn't know what glue is for.

I was talking with a couple women at work about this today and they both said that she must be a special kind of person. Which one of them is a black woman and the other is a white woman with biracial (black/white) daughters.

Maybe even a blockhead.

Again, hard to say, but something drives all those idiot warning labels on consumer products.  I seem to remember a woman putting really hot coffee between her legs.

  Most of the negative reaction to that case is because people are not familiar with the details. It wasn't actually a frivolous case, which is why the punitive damages were as big as they were. The coffee was on her lap, the brewed temperature was dangerous enough that it would have caused harm to drink it. She spilled the coffee while adding cream and sugar.

 

  The liability is that coffee should not be hot enough to cause extensive 3rd degree burns. The extenuating circumstance is that McDonalds had received more than 700 previous reports of coffee being too hot, had settled several suits out of court and offered to settle this one. They had several reports of burns including injuries to people's mouth and throats. Corporate policy was that coffee should be held at 190 degrees Celsius, which experts maintained was excessively dangerous, and McDonalds admitted they were aware of that risk for several years. As the jurors stated, the case was about callous disregard for consumer safety even after the company was aware of the facts.

 

  Those same factors do not exist in this case, and IMO, she would have difficulty proving that she wasn't aware that her hair is attached to her skin.

Still was a stupid act putting something so hot between ones legs in a car.  Cars are for driving.

But she was a passenger and the car wasn't moving?

  IIRC, she admitted fault for spilling the coffee, but the legal aspects of the lawsuit were not centered on that part. She almost died. Coffee shouldn't be served hot enough to kill someone.

So with that, it is still a good idea to put a hot beverage between ones legs?  I know, you can't fix stupid, just like all those idiots that ride in the front seat passenger position with their feet up on the dash even with the car stationary (hint: stationary cars are sometimes hit by another vehicle).  Regardless, just like the hot coffee case, we do not know all the details of this potential lawsuit yet and though it appears frivolous, I believe that is for a court to decide if this women finds a lawyer willing to argue her cause.

[laylalex 7,284]

But we do know all the facts of the hot coffee case? I mean, it was litigated decades ago. 

 

I think we can distinguish between what the glue woman did (used something in a way that isn't normal -- most people over the age of 4 have the common sense not to put glue in their hair) and the coffee woman putting a cup of coffee between her legs to steady it while she put in cream and sugar. The second one is something that a lot of us have done from time to time, used our thighs to grip an object to steady it while we used our hands. Is it smart? No, but it's a pretty normal thing to do. We're human, we don't need to be perfect all the time, but it's the stuff that's really out of the ordinary (slathering your head with permanent glue instead of buying more hairspray) that looks frivolous.

Not just blockhead, but perhaps even a sign of an occasional-cortex.
