http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/01/11/pimp-nike-jordan-sue/4431131/
After brutally beating a man with his Nike Jordan shoes, a pimp filed a $100 million lawsuit against Nike for not providing a warning label that their shoes could be used as a dangerous weapon.
In June, Sirgiorgio Sanford Clardy, 26, or Portland, Ore., repeatedly stomped on the face of a client with his Jordan shoes when the man refused to pay Clardy's prostitute. The man required stitches and plastic surgery after the beating, The Oregonian reports.
The newspaper reports that the jury also found Clardy guilty of robbing the man and beating the 18-year-old woman he forced to work as his prostitute; her injuries were so severe that she bled from her ears.
Clardy, who is representing himself, is asking a Multnomah County judge to order Nike to put warning labels on all their "potentially dangerous Nike and Jordan merchandise."
Clardy handwrote a three-page complaint from the Eastern Oregon Correctional Institution in Pendleton where he is incarcerated, the newspaper reports.
The complaint says that Nike "failed to warn of risk or to provide an adequate warning or instruction" that their shoes are a "potentially dangerous product.

Maybe Nike should have painted the shoe black and called it a tactical assault shoe?

This could be fixed with mandatory shoe registration.

These nasty corporations. Another innocent citizen suffering under their greed. Instead of shelling out a few dollars for warning labels, so that hard working people would know the means of their products, they risk that their weapons of mass destruction are misused by the uniformed and therefore bring harm to peaceful bystanders. Shame on you Nike! You should have known better.

Problem is, Nike has to spend money defending the lawsuit. It is always possible some Judge won't throw it out, forcing it to trial or settlement.

And because it's Oregon (my home state) I wouldn't be surprised in the least bit if they didn't throw it out, and forced something to come of it.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
