Aha!
Aha!
McDonalds lawsuit gets tossed by judge. (Link via Laurence)The appropriately named Judge Sweet, properly understanding the requirement of causal connection, dismissed the suit.
"Where should the line be drawn between an individual's own responsibility to take care of herself and society's responsibility to ensure others shield her? The complaint fails to allege the McDonald's products consumed by the plaintiffs were dangerous in any way other than that which was open and obvious to a reasonable consumer," Sweet said in his ruling.
Absolutely correct, Judge.
