Yeah... Sounds like they changed the can design, probably to use less metal and save money, then had a larger amount of failures due the weakness, law suits followed, then reverted the change.
Interesting to see the rate of failure before and after.
You think there would be an engineer somewhere explaining to the shareholders why cutting corners on product integrity will cost more in the long run. But shareholders can only see 3 months at a time.
Lucky victim.
God damn it when is it going to be MY turn to have something like this happen?
Reese was working at a social club kitchen in May 2017 when “suddenly and without warning” a can of Swell cooking spray “exploded into a fireball, causing burns and injuries,” according to a lawsuit filed on her behalf. She suffered deep second-degree burns on her head, face, arms and hands, and scar tissue continues to constrict her movement six years later, according to one of her lawyers, Craig Smith.
I promise you that $7.1 million is not worth a lifetime of debilitating pain from horrific burns across your head, face, arms and hands. That woman would probably tell you off for even sarcastically suggesting this incident and the resulting verdict was some sort of wonderful stroke of luck.
It's just a joke bro!
I would rather win $0 to not be maimed.
It’s too bad people get rewarded for stupidity. $7 million for storing a can 18 inches above a stove.
“In a commercial kitchen, that’s a sort of normal place where people leave their cooking spray cans when they’re actually using them. And the same thing has happened all across the country, not necessarily on shelves above stoves, but on shelves near stoves, on countertops," he said.
Yes, because clearly smart people don't store items to be used at the stove anywhere near the stove. Only idiots like checks notes commercial kitchens would do something that stupid....
I read a comment earlier that there has always been the same percentage of stupid people on earth. Just that the internet makes them more obvious and noticed.

Yes dear, everyone's stupid except for you.

Your existence and comment proves this.
