No one wants to see someone injured by a product that malfunctions or from a product that is toxic. The lawsuits that are brought to bring attention to these problems are warranted, particularly if there is evidence that the manufacturer had any knowledge before the product was sold to the public. But what has happened to common sense? I doubt that anyone was strong-armed and force-fed at McDonald's. How can we have become a society that must have ludicrous labels on all products because someone wants to be remunerated for their stupidity and there is a lawyer who will get them just that? Our high school and college kids think it's fine to cheat. Everyone wants to blame everyone else and no one is willing to accept responsibility for their actions. Unless our attitudes change, the cost of product liability coverage is going to continue and the labels will just get more riduculous.
