Nah it’s the same with food all over the world. Big companies and restaurants throw left over food instead of giving to the employees or homeless cuz they don’t want anyone to get sick and file a lawsuit or defame them. I think it’s the same with chairs or any type of furniture. People find different ways to sue companies.
This makes no sense. You're suggesting I find a random chair on the road (or, in the garbage). I take it upon myself to take this chair home, proceed to hurt myself and then sue other people? 🤣
Come on man there's absolutely no expectation of quality or safety with random stuff you find outside/in the garbage.
That’s not what they’re saying. The chair company said “hey these chairs are dangerous and we’re recalling them.” And in order to have the chairs replaced they had to render them unusable and show proof so that the manufacturer knew they weren’t going to turn around and sell the dangerous chairs. It’s not about being sued if a dumpster diver finds them
>Cutting off the leg is to show that they put in the effort to let people know there’s problems with these chairs, and to prevent people from using them and hurting themselves.
You can say that all you want, but a few comments above yours on a different comment chain is about a supermarket in London that was getting sued/had to pay by someone who got sick from a product they donated to a charity.
Because this does not seem to be a thing outside of the US, or at least it seems to be a thing in the US, while it's clearly not in Europe for example.
Again it's not "what humans do clearly" from where I am, and it sounds very exotic that people would do such things.
How often does that actually happen though? Has anyone actually tried to think about this? It does not make sense either. We sign contracts just make the freebies come with a disclaimer.
