Message-ID: <1240@akgua.UUCP> Date: Fri, 8-Feb-85 07:57:48 EST Article-I.D.: akgua.1240 Posted: Fri Feb 8 07:57:48 1985 Date-Received: Sun, 10-Feb-85 05:19:15 EST Organization: AT&T Technologies/Bell Labs, Atlanta Lines: 18 I heard the report this morning on the radio that the parents of a 17 year old killed in a car wreck in the Macon, Ga area are suing Stroh's for 30 Megabucks. The basis for the suit is that the driver was juiced on Schlitz Malt Liquor ( A Stroh owned brand) and that when the wreck occurred the 17 year old passenger was killed. The parents claim (probably among others) is that Stroh should have placed a warning label on their product about the dangers of drinking and driving. Question: Are these type of cases considered crank law suits by lawyers (other than the ones involved) ? Bob Brown {...ihnp4!akgua!rjb}
