And McD's has yet to put a warning about placing hot coffee in between your legs by your vag. Bastards have another suit coming, I think.

Lesson learned: check the expiration date and do not rely on any store's reputation!


Lesson learned . . . read the ******* expiration date on a product that expires. You probably do this once a week on that gallon of milk you buy for yourself.

I read them religiously so that I get the most recently stocked items.

Yes, you have a case of sue-happy Americanism. The only cure is to jump head first in front of a bus.

You're missing the group of people, such as myself, that would use the (recently) expired formula anyway. Seriously, if something is recently expired, just eat it anyway. It bugs me when people toss stuff that is a day past the expiration date.

OP, you are, at the very least, a pathetic excuse for a man. Plaintiffs like you give attorneys a bad name.

^ What about attorneys that take these asinine cases just to make their fee. I think that they are equally culpable.
