The 79-year-old former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) lawsuit against Hygenic Corp, the makers of the TheraBand resistance band, has made it to court. Reid is seeking $50,000 from the Ohio based company for the loss of sight in his right eye.
Hygenic contends that Reid was using the equipment improperly and put himself at greater risk by attempting to exercise with the elastic band in his marble and granite bathroom. Further undermining Reid’s case, is the fact that he threw out the band and therefore created doubt where it was a TheraBand product in the first place. More
Theraband should bring his brother in to testify under oath.
IMHO it didn’t hit the bastige hard enough.
Blind with pancreatic cancer. What a shame…
Without the supposedly defective product, or even evidence he owned one of their products, it’s gonna be hard to prove it was at fault.
But then, the juries usually decide based on which lawyer tells the best lies to them, lawyers being professional liars as such.
But $50,000 isn’t much, legal fees to defend yourself will probably exceed that and it would likely be cheaper to just settle it and cut your losses.
I agree with A.Moose…I still think his brother kicked the shit out of him.
This ain’t the well of the Senate, you little worm. You lie out in the real world, and there are consequences.
Former Senator Harry Reid is very proud of his boxing days back in High School and College. Evidently, his brother beat him to the sucker punch. Harry Reid’s injures sure didn’t look like anything other than a first class fist pounding. The Reids weren’t exactly a Band of Brothers celebrating Saint Crispin’s day at that family picnic.
How in the world does he prove this? Also, Theraband is just a big rubber band, if they are found liable to Reid then everyone who owns one will sue them into oblivion. I think a little personal responsibility is in order.
Did he ever learn to read…the common sense safety instructions??
That Harry Ried has not been fed to hyenas is proof that the universe is not just and fair
SOOOOOOO…. he got his tooth caught on Nancy Pelosi’s THONG……… and now he is suing who?????
If he threw-out the evidence, then throw
the casehim out.Does anyone have the address for Theraband? I want to send them flowers and a thank you letter.
Put me on the jury and Dirty Harry will owe them 50 million dollars just for being such an unmitigated dirtbag!
I believe he began this lawsuit as a red herring to steer the topic away from any other possibilities that he looked like the losing side of a beat down
Arrest him for destruction of evidence.
$50000 for all that damage? Seems like he is low-balling it so the company would be more likely to settle than fight.
