Well…It’s Certainly Creative
There can’t have been many suits filed on a legal theory so original as this one. Our plaintiff is incarceted for possession of cocaine base (i.e. crack) with intent to distribute. He’s sued Arm & Hammer and its parent company because its baking soda product does not provide a warning on the label that cooking the product with cocaine will produce crack, which is not only dangerous, but subjects a user to enhanced penalties. His proposed warning: “the use of this product with illegal drugs is punishable by law and is prohibited.”
At least the people who purchased crack from him can rest assured that he was using name brand baking soda rather than the cheap generic.
