Women Sues Intel: Allergic to Intel Pentium Processors

 

A woman from the Netherlands is filing lawsuits against Intel and the Ministry of Economics because she claims she is allergic to the Intel Pentium Processors. The processor causes her to break out in hives due to it's radiation emissions.

The woman had no problems with the 486 processor but the Pentium makes her sick. The woman is fighting for compensation it appears she was discharged from her job for medical reasons.

Her claims that about her allergic reactions were not accepted by tribunals.

The source also gives a link to the page on a dutch news-site.

  Why is this intel's problem???  
 
So she's alergic to their processors... She doesn't HAVE to use a pentium chip! Nobody is holding a gun to her head and making her use the damn thing! Aarg, I am so tired of people blaming other people for things that aren't even remotely their fault. Like that fat guy who can't stop eating hamburgers, so he tries to sue all the fast food places... These people need to wake up and realize how stupid this is!

  well  
 
it's a chance at easy money, and everyone likes easy money.

  Well, again...  
 
I think it's lame that people should be able to make "easy money" by just looking for something that is just a little thing wrong and making it into a huge big deal. I mean, how stupid does this sound... Intel owes this woman a large sum of money because she claims she is alergic to their chips. People need to wake up and get this out of their heads that just because things don't work out the way you want them too doesn't mean that someone somewhere owes you money... It's a waste of everyone's time.

  @infoflux2000 ... right, but wrong  
 
I agree with you that there is too much of a gap between the rich and the poor these days, and that the wealth that many corporations make at the expense of the consumer seems unattainable in today's world... However, I don't think its good for the justice system, or for the economy when people with these little problems are handsomly rewarded. It just promotes people to get stuck on petty things, and to ruin other people's lives at their own benefit. How would you feel if you started a restaurant and business was going great, and then suddenly some dumbass spills coffee in their own lap, and your promising restaurant is suddenly bankrupt?

I have heard it all now?..what is this world coming too?
 
 by: MrJoshua   08/11/2002 06:52 AM     
  she's going about it all wrong  
 
the problem isn't about her sueing.... it's that she should be going after the company that fired her. Not the company that makes the chip

I hope she doesn't win the case... it's rediculous
