Injured child and no warning labels on a vacuum cleaner

[HomeGuru]

As seen on TV, the new patent pending household vaccum cleaner, the new Master Bater.

There is, on brief review, apparently no statute of repose for product defects in New Jersey.

Products liability (defective products) is by far the scariest class I had in law school.

My favorite case was bubba, who went into a bar to get hammered, and came out to find he had a dead battery. The rocket scientist decided to open the vent caps on the battery and light a match to look inside. Although he stated he probably would have ignored the warnings if he had seen them, he claimed the manufacturer should have printed the warning on the vent caps with illuminating paint.

Bubba lost his appeal.

Anyway, the general theory of products liability is that the manufacturer, who is making a profit from the goods, should bear the risk of injury from the products.

The more I think about this the more I think child services should be getting involved. Even if the child is not special needs then there has been a lack of supervision for the child.

At what point in the USA did parents stop raising adults and started to raise children?

Well, it depends on the story the boy tells. Perhaps he was just riding on it.

Riding on it? Probably not. Unless he was riding on and and naked as a jay bird when it happened. Then again, its also possible he tripped and fell on it, too.

That was the boy's claim in the case I cited. Read the case, they describe how that was the conclusion.

I've heard that excuse for someone getting pregnant...but never for this type of injury from a vacuum cleaner.

do we have a good case to sue the vacuum manufacturer?

That would be a whopping big NO, lady - are you SERIOUSLY trying to tell me you think the manufacturer needed to TELL your son not to put his penis in the hose?

Why didn't YOU (or at least his dad) teach him that body organs and household appliances do not belong together?

(Mike Peters - is that you?)

apparently these folks believed a warning would be proper:


Punch this into google:

screwdriver with warning to not insert into penis

but beyond that, this is a BS troll thread. A vacuum cleaner does not have the suction fan immediately inside the unit. It must draw the dirt into the bag first so that means the motor and suction fan is on the other side of whatever bag is in the machine.

If he got his penis injured, I suggest he consider a career in the porn industry because for that to happen, well, do I really have to explain?
