If someone in the US can successfully sue MacDolands for not warning that hot coffee is hot and can scald, anything is possible.
Now be careful - what is quoted in the press and what the full story of what seemed like the ultimate in frivolous actions make interesting reading. We always get the icing and never the cake from these rather sensational stories which do have an element of apocrypha (if that is properly spelt).
Now I do have a question - can one of our US friends tell me why it is called a class action? I am probably sounding ignorant but I hate using expression when I do not really understand what they mean.
