Although the hot coffee case was real, and was not as frivolous as it sounds:

http://www.caoc.com/CA/index.cfm?eve...wPage&pg=facts

"McDonalds coffee was not only hot, it was scalding - capable of almost instantaneous destruction of skin, flesh and muscle... McDonalds' quality assurance manager testified that the company actively enforces a requirement that coffee be held in the pot at 185 degrees, plus or minus five degrees. He also testified that a burn hazard exists with any food substance served at 140 degrees or above, and that McDonalds coffee, at the temperature at which it was poured into Styrofoam cups, was not fit for consumption because it would burn the mouth and throat."

But does the warranty state that the lawnmower should not be shot - we are talking Septics here, the nation that brought use cases should as microwaving the dog to dry it off (& the claimant won because the microwave instructions did not state not to be used for drying dogs), people getting burnt because the coffee they had just bought was hot and the Darwin award classic of the guy who put his Winnibego (sp) - camper van to you and me - on cruise control whilst he went in the back to make a coffee

Milan.

p.s. did you see the bit about the warranty

[The Lone Gunman]

Beans old chap. That guy looks like you!! (on a good day).

[Xenophon]

I like the bit about voiding the warranty. Has anyone read that part?

Oh, you all have. At least twice.

[milanbenes]

I love this bit:


'A local retailer said that Mr Walendowski might now have difficulty getting his lawn mower repaired.

"Anything not factory recommended would void the warranty," said Dick Wagner, of Wagner's Garden Mart in Milwaukee.

'

What a remarkable looking chap...

Witnesses told police that he appeared to have been drinking.

More than a couple of beers, I'd say...

He should have been trimming the hedge he'd just been backwards through.
