It makes me spit. No wonder there are people asking questions on this site such as the one recently - plastic in my pre-packed ham, can I sue?
Greed. That's all these companies are playing on - peoples greed.
I agree that people who have genuinely suffered loss, pain and trauma through negligence should get proper compensation, but that is the first thing greedy people think of if they have the slightest mishap - even if it is evidently their own fault.
Everyone seems to know their rights today - and have forgotten their responsibilities.
It's sad. In the proper, old fashioned sense of the word.
