An Inclusive Litany

6/19/00

A Georgia man sued the manufacturer of Liquid Fire drain cleaner, packages of which feature an ominous skull and crossbones and numerous warnings. Suspecting that the bottle's spout might drip, he emptied the contents into another bottle whose spout he thought might not drip, but that bottle immediately began to disintegrate, causing the dangerous liquid to spill on his leg. He is asking for $100,000 for his injuries.
