madcat6183 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Wasting more $$ in our court systems so some worthless parents can make a buck off their kid dieing. I've personally seen Grapesmuggler drink 2 BFC's from Monster before noon, and he said when he was in the military serving, they had stuff like that for them there. Would drink 6+ a day when on patrol.Seems like the facts don't line up on this and the cause of death at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted October 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 14 is a child, children do not make good decisions. Accedents happen. Just because some one bought/sold her the drink does not mean they knew it was for her or she was about to consume it.This argument can be the same for alcohol and alcohol posioning. you can buy 4 cases of beer, the seller has no idea what your intensions are.If a parent buys said child said alcohol, they are charged.

Mojoe Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Guns kill people. Spoons make them fat.Every else is always at fault.Parenting has turned into "let me see how I can do at this". Instead of, I have the ability to raise a well rounded person in this world and help evolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDBGoalie Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 No way this comes out as anything other than in favor of Monster. Butt-hurt parents just trying to find some reason other than their bad parenting that caused the child's death.Redbull>Rockstar>Anything other than Monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some doctors actually recomend caffeine for kids with adhd because it has the opposite effect on kids with adhd. We used to buy water Joe(caffeinated water) and mix it with tang for my stepbrother. I used to be allowed to drink pop in class even though everyone else was only allowed to drink water in class. I'm sure something like this won't matter in a case like this, but who knows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magley64 Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 (edited) I'm not a 14 yr old girl... diabetic or notbut saying that one person can handle a ton of caffeine, so everyone can, is a little absurd.if she were an adult, I'd say you all hit the nail on the head...and the lawsuit is a no-go... but there are too many variables...The product certainly isn't advertized as a dangerous substance.I'm not even saying the manufacturer is at fault, I'm just saying that depending on where she got it, and who was aware of what dangers, her parents might have a case.I bet that monster makes their warnings more stern in the future, either way.

The first suit most people know is the hot coffe one, but meh that doesn't apply except for thr the obvious caution hot they put on the cup. The second well known lawsuit is them fat fucks suing McDonalds because their food made them fat.... Although McDonalds doesn't put a caution on their big Macks saying this product will make you fat, they have the calorie counter, but thats more of a less blatant warning when compaired to monsters current warning, which is on the product itself.Next thing we know the bath salt companies are going to be sued and held responsible for Turing retards into zombies... If anything monster may end up like most the other products where you have to be a certain age to buy it now, good riddens, them young kids don't need this shit anyhow.

Exarch Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Not the same "bath salts"... Bath salts[1][2]*is the informal "street name" for a family of*designer drugs*often containing*substituted cathinones, which have effects similar to*amphetamine*and*cocaine.[3][4][5]*The white*crystals*resemble legalbathing*products like*epsom salts, and are called*bath salts*with the packaging often stating "not for human consumption" in an attempt to avoid the*prohibition of drugs,[3]*but chemically have nothing to do with actual bath salts.Well I'll be damned, learn something new everyday lol.

TRMN8TR Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'll take that one further, and piss some people off - frivolous law suits are one of the primary reasons medical expenses are so high.And I'll add insurance of all types to that list.

TRMN8TR Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Her parents should be allowed to sue. I should be allowed to sue you for buying a new bike and not posting it online. However' date=' that doesn't mean I would support them/me winning said suit. .[/quote']And people who sue with frivolous lawsuits knowing it is just that, should be held to pay the defendants court/attorney costs. If you want to sue me for buying a new bike and not posting it, why should I have to pay to defend myself? I see this going something like this. Family sues Monster for 2 million, Monster settles out of court for 15,000 cause it's cheaper than going to court. Should they really have to pay $15K if they aren't really at fault though? No, and they won't. The price of Monster goes up $0.10/can to cover frivolous lawsuits like this.
