Tomorrow I will be going around putting tape on the top of a box with my product in it because America is dumb and a retailer doesn't want to get sued. We have a 18 pack bottle package that the top flap will flip open, if turned up side down. Yes, I said upside down. They are concerned because a customer in another state dumped 18 bottles on the floor and then cut her foot when she stepped in the glass. Guess what she got a lawyer. Shock shock. Now I have to go to all the retailers and tape the top flap of every 18pk shut or we will have to pull the product out of the stores. Guess we should of put on the box. Don't turn the box of glass bottles upside down and step in the broken glass. May cause injury because broken glass is sharp. The broken product will also make the floor wet and a wet floor can be slippery.

Sounds to me like the bottle company should have sued the lady for vandalism. And if there were any children in the store, I would sue for exposing my children to a graphics scene. This lady would be in trouble if I was king.
