The Hugging Cousin Case

A lot of these cases are, you know, they seem sort of weird at a glance, but they're actually just product liability cases. So somebody suing for falling off a ladder sounds kind of silly, but again, this is how we enforce things like being honest on your label about how many pounds your ladder can hold. Because otherwise you can just kind of say anything and it turns out a lot of companies do that. Did you hear about the hugging cousin case? No. What? This is from like 2015, but I'm including it just because it's a wild story.
