Watch out for trial lawyers and other creepy characters this Halloween

Have those kiddos sign a Halloween Liability and Indemnification Agreement.

his indemnification includes an agreement not to haul treat-dispensers into court on the basis of:

  1. Failure to provide nutritional information;
  2. Failure to warn of potential for overeating because candy tastes too good and is provided at no cost;
  3. Failure to offer healthier alternatives including, but not limited to, soy-based or sugar-free treats;
  4. Failure to provide information about other venues serving alternative, healthier, Halloween treats; and
  5. Failure to warn that eating may lead to obesity.

Classic... but not too far-fetched, unfortunately...

The Center for Consumer Freedom has a lot of great information related to frivilous lawsuits and the like. I particularily like the Girl Scout commercial and the games page. Worth a look, IMHO
