Frivolous lawsuits are filed everyday. Some people think that they may be able to make some quick cash by suing an individual or a company in court. Recently a lawsuit was filed against Hawkeye borescopes. The plaintiff claimed that he used a borescope, manufactured by the company, to look into the toilet. He was hoping to find his wife’s wedding and engagement rings. Their young son had dropped them into the toilet. He stated that in the process of using the borescope, he flushed the toilet. His wife’s rings were gone for good. He claimed that the design of the borescope was the cause of the incident, as the position that he had to be in caused him to flush. He was suing for the retail price of the rings, and for pain and suffering, as his wife was very upset and angry with him because he flushed the rings rather than retrieved them. The case was dismissed.
