Idiot puts Gorilla Glue in her hair and now wants to sue the company

[Derec]

US is infamously one of the most overlawyered countries on the planet. The reason is stupid laws that allow people to sue entities with "deep pockets" (companies, governments) even when these entities violated no laws. All you need to do is convince some jurors to give your client millions and you get 40%. What a system!

Anyway, this possible lawsuit is frivolous af, but will still likely result in a huge payout, because most jurors are idiots.

Gorilla Glue girl is thinking about suing the Gorilla Glue company

Tessica Brown, the woman who spent over a month with Gorilla Glue in her hair, is considering taking legal action against the company. As TMZ reported, Brown hired an attorney, with whom she’s been discussing her legal options against the Gorilla Glue company.

Brown used the glue as a replacement for her Göt2b Glued spray, but after a month of attempting to wash it out of her hair, she took to social media with hopes to get some help from her followers. When that failed, she went to the emergency room to seek professional help; she opted to complete her treatment at home after learning it would take 20 hours to remove the glue from her hair.
[...]
Brown claims the product is misleading because it says multi-use and only warns against usage on the eyes, skin or clothing but fails to mention hair in the list.

Photo of the idiot:

She should sue whoever sold her those ridiculous fake lashes instead.

This case of the case where that old woman got many millions because she poured hot coffee in her lap. Except this will likely end up even worse because McD Stella at least could not play the race card. This guy is playing the race card too, and he is allegedly a lawyer.

P.S.: At least Tessica and her boyfriend (who probably has a similarly room temperature IQ) did not try to use Gorilla Glue as lube. I guess they got lucky.

Another black person you're angry about. Curious, Derec. Curious.

Another black person you're angry about. Curious, Derec. Curious.

Another veiled accusation of some kind of 'ism' with no evidence whatever. Curious.

I guess you think no black people should be criticized ever. Other than stupid race card playing, do you have any actual opinion on the case?

I read your title differently when i first saw it:

Idiot gorilla puts glue...

Well, I am a racist, so...

 

[Jarhyn]

Wow...

So, I saw this tiktok on reddit and I thought, 'oh, that was dumb. Lady needs to get some acetone on that, STAT, or her scalp is gonna be fucked.

My thought was "well, that was stupid".

Apparently YOUR first thought is to make a Metaphor style thread where you heavily imply but don't actually say outright "LOL, Black People are dumb!"

It would be different if you ever even once posted a thread about how anyone other than liberals and minorities were being fucking idiots (ok, maybe you have? My memory is admittedly not great, but I think the body of work does tend to speak to this end). Instead, you dance and obfuscate about it whenever the subject is a conservative.

See, I'm in here agreeing that she is a fucking idiot and that her lawsuit is stupid. I can and do recognize she IS an idiot. But that doesn't change your clear ideological [removed] bias.

It's not that you posted a thread criticizing black people, it's that you ONLY post threads criticizing black people (and people seeking their equal rights in society).

Gorilla Glue for the hair? Well, I'm not doing it this time. In '94, after Liebeck v. McDonalds, I got two large McCafe coffees and poured them directly onto my crotch. Didn't make jack squat off the deal.

I'm guessing YOUR McDonald's didn't keep the coffee so hot it melted your, um, "opening" shut? That was probably the difference.

I'd check the article myself if the site wasn't flagged as unsafe by my network's security. Sounds like some real hilarious shit. Regrettably, I have to agree with Derec on this being a frivolous lawsuit and her being an idiot.

 

[Rhea]

I hope this gets thrown out. It’s stupid.
Also, I hope she is okay.
But that was a stupid thing to do.

(Not at all like the McDonald’s case, which, when you read the details, you realize was justiified)

Not nearly so dramatic. It gave me an interesting story for the ladies.

It is legit, partly. IE, a person used gorilla glue when they ran out of the product they should be using. From the article and a quick search, she has not sued anyone, only she is considering a lawsuit. Of which, she probably will have a hard time making it happen.

Otherwise, warning labels on these contains are going to get crazy.

It was ridiculously poor judgment to do what she did. And I hope Derec wasn't harmed because of her lack of good judgment.

Oh don't get me started. She (a passenger) willfully opened up a coffee in a parked car to add sugar, she spilled it on her lap (McDonalds didn't come in and pour it on her) and only suffered third degree burns which only required skin grafts. Cry me a river. So what the coffee was so scalding hot it could burn three layers of skin from instant contact. She should have known the dangers of buying coffee. Besides, if she wasn't a sugar addict, she'd had been perfectly fine.

There used to be a time when it was obvious the above was sarcasm.

Judging by just the US population only, If I was selling products on the market my label would consist of the usual warnings along with a QR code and/or link directing consumers to a website with a trillion of my other warnings. hahahaha

Maybe while she's at it, she can sue the glue company for the racist implications of its name....Gorilla Glue. She could argue that this country is so fucking blatantly racist that she just assumed it was a white owned company that branded the product specifically for African Americans, so she bought it. If a sportscaster can get fired for saying that Venus Williams was using "gorilla" tactics on her opponent during a tennis match, then why is this adhesive company still in business? Time to cancel Gorilla Glue company!!

On a more serious note, I wonder what are the long term implications to her scalp for doing this? Doesn't her scalp need to radiate heat and perspiration, and get exposure to oxygen, etc to thrive? I would think the skin would start dying/decaying at some point, if it hasn't already started.

But if you apologize for TOO much you expose yourself to more lawsuits.

"So, you're saying you were AWARE that your product, if packed into a canon with a four-pounce charge of gunpowder, would achieve sufficient velocity to penetrate a 2010 Honda FIT, with the doors locked, yet you did nothing to stop my client from taking those very steps! Will you please tell the jury, in your own words, why you wanted Mr. Smith to launch your product as a weapon of FIT destruction?"

Warnings are not an apology your honor. Now if you don't mind, imma sprinkle some crack on the plaintiff and GTFO.

As the OP indicated and JH showed, there is no lawsuit at this time. So, someone is contemplating a lawsuit. People contemplate all sorts of stupid ideas and policies.

If this lawyer did file a lawsuit on behalf of this woman, I think it would be a complete waste of time and something to comment on. Since that has yet to happen, there really isn't.

As an aside, the facts in the McDonald's coffee lawsuit are fascinating. It is a case study on how a defendant should not defend itself. Even the Wall Street Journal's reporting was damning against McDonald's.

But didn't McDonald's and "tort reform" people actually win? The McDonald's lawsuit was effectively slimed.

Corporate America went on a binge trying to convince the public it was a bad lawsuit, that some old broad spilled coffee and went crazy with a lawsuit.
But the case was good.
The case stands up to scrutiny as 'good law.' McD's lost ONE DAY'S profits from coffee sales to the victim. However many million that was.
And corporate was held responsible for a franchise blowing off the company's safety regulations.
And just about everything the woman won was spent on surgeries, skin grafts, etc.

There's nothing there to 'reform,' and all the ensliming was in the public view. Not the actual law.
