[QUOTE="flatwins, post: 1854208, member: 5655"] If companies decided to follow the line of making an idiot proof product, they all better shut down operations now. Some examples come to mind: Kids gets hurt when he pulls a TV off the shelf and it lands on him. Sue the TV maker? Sue gravity? Airplane runs out of fuel and crashes. Sue the maker of the plane? Person backs into a car in a parking lot. Sue the maker of the car? Drunk person falls out of a canoe on a float trip and drowns. Sue the maker of the canoe? Sue the water? Field catches on fire while lighting fireworks. Sue the maker of the fireworks? Sue the place that sold the fireworks? My point being that in this day and age no one wants to be responsible for their own actions. It always has to be someone else's fault. This company made simple gas cans. They're made to hold gas, nothing more and nothing less. Say no fire was even involved but a kid decided to drink gas from one of the cans. Sue the company that made the gas can! Preposterous is what it is. [/QUOTE]
