Evan-
You're absolutely correct, the judge did accurately state products liability law, but if these people were not smart enought to figure it out in the first place, why did he need to turn on the light switch for them??
And I think what they were saying, at least in the first case, was that McD's didn't make it clear how bad their food was. In fact, the father of one of the 5'2" 200 pounders submitted an affidavit to the court stating that he thought McDonald's food was healthy and, had he known it wasn't, he never would have fed it to his kid. Come on . . . .
