RE: Concerning the physics of coffee and lawsuits...

not that i don't agree, in part, but it's funny to me to read so much about people taking personal responsibility but yet there is nothing said about a company taking responsibility for the quality of it's services.

let's say i am touching something in a display and it falls on me. if i am encouraged to touch it but at the same time, it is a heavy objects, high up and is not secured, then i don't believe it is entirely my fault for it to fall. there is a measure of quality in the display that is expected.

you could say that without a sign saying the floor is wet you should know the floor could be wet by looking at it. if you slip, then it's your fault, you should have looked where you we're going.

is there no a level of reasonable expectation? aren't there a large number of products that have been improved or taken off the market because people complained or went so far as to sue over it.

olestra gives you the runs but maybe you don't need a label saying it does because it's a chemical and chemicals don't work well in the human body but at the same time you have a reasonable expectation that something would have a warning on it if it was going to give you "loose stool".

why is something unexpectedly too hot an exception?
