child's and parent's fault: it says right on the can.
"NOT RECCOMMENDED FOR CHILDREN". The death is completely the fault of the parents who failed to instruct, supervise, and discipline the child to avoid such drinks. Failed to investigate the products the child was permitted to buy. If the child was instructed to avoid such drinks and consumed them anyway, then the child is at fault for the death. Now the manufacturer is being sued. As usual, ignorant and foolish people, especially parents who have not supervised and disciplined their children, will try to find someone else to blame and a way to turn an unfortunate event into money to ease their consciences. It is a fact of nature that fingers always point away from the body, do they not? The case against the manufacturer has no merit and the manufacturer bears no moral responsibility. The parents and possibly a disobedient child are responsible for this wrongful death. If the product is really harmful, it should be prohibited. This is not harsh, it is reason niether hard nor soft.
