This is OT, sorry.

As far as I know, that's actually an urban legend. A very popular one
though. But for a more recent and confirmed bad lawsuit story, how about
the woman who won a huge amount of money because she spilled her coffee
from McDonald's on herself and what do you know... it was hot. And she
got burnt. And now she has a lot of money.

from a microwave oven manufacturer company after baking his own pet dog ,
since they didn't mention in the user's manual that the microwave ovens are
not for drying pets?
