Hell, why don't we go ahead and expand it to include ANY company that sells a dangerous product that people use voluntarily? How about cars? Electrical luxuries? Pets? Foods with saturated fats in them? Caffeinated products? All of them can potentially harm you, after all.
See how far this can go, people? This is what can happen when we stop holding people responsible for their own actions. The companies aren't responsible for our choices, WE are.
Doesn't that already happen in the US? And it doesn't have to be dangerous. Hot Coffee from McDonalds anyone?
I think the case was dropped the overweight guy in Florida brought against several fast food chains claiming that his diet of whoppers, taco pizzas, and big macs made him obese, but a lawyer from San Francisco is trying to sue Kraft to stop the sell of Oreos because they contain high levels of trans fat. That leads to a myriad of health problems including diabetes, and high cholesterol. And would also lead to a fat wallet of the lawyer.
I'm currently looking for a lawyer to take my case against Budweiser. I consumed their product religiously, and still don't have any of the surgically enhanced women shown in their advertisements or the washboard abs of the male spokesmen.
