Check Out These Haunting Halloween-Related Lawsuits

If you watch TV, talk to human beings, or ARE a human being, chances are that you’ve realized by now that people can get their panties in a bunch about the smallest of infractions. Thanks to the way our court systems work in the States, that means that pretty much anytime you’re upset about something, you could at least try to parlay that into legal ramifications.

Here are 5 times that Halloween inspired people’s litigious sides, and yeah, the stories might just haunt your dreams.

5. Blinded for scares.

If you think it would be super spooky to change your eye color to match your costume, here’s a fun fact: you’re not actually allowed to unless you have a prescription.

In 2016, Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster filed a lawsuit against Gotcha Costume Rental for selling colored contacts without a prescription, an act that violates state and federal law.

The lenses they were selling didn’t always fit properly, which led to scratched corneas, infections, and even blindness.

4. The Ferlitos v. Johnson & Johnson

Back in the 1980s, Frank and Susan Ferlito went as Mary and her Lamb to a Halloween costume party. Frank’s lamb costume, made from cotton balls and long underwear, caught fire when Frank lit his cigarette using a butane lighter.

He suffered burns over about 35% of his body, and the couple sued Johnson & Johson.

Initially they were awarded over half a million dollars in damages, but in 1992, a circuit court judge ruled in favor of Johnson & Johnson’s appeal. The company argued that the couple knew cotton balls were flammable, even if they didn’t come with a specific label.

3. One banana to rule them all.

You might think one banana costume is the same as the next, and the one after that, but in 2019, a 3rd US. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia said that’s not true.

They ruled in favor of Rasta Imposta, who claimed their banana costume was distinct and couldn’t be knocked off by discount and online stores around the world.

2. Inflatable pumpkin fail.

Milwaukee entrepreneur Jon Majdoch had made a tidy living for years by operating pop-up Halloween stores on a yearly basis. He advertised his shops with 100-foot diameter inflatable pumpkins on the roof.

When he opened a smaller store, in the parking lot of a home goods store, he wanted to do the same thing, and ordered a smaller inflatable pumpkin from a place called Larger Than Life.

When it arrived, House of Bounce assembled it on the roof.

A few days later, it rained so hard that water pooled on top of the pumpkin. It collapsed, and so did the store underneath it, ruining mos of Majdoch’s inventory.

The litigation, began by their insurance company Hastings Mutual, is still onging.

1. You get what you pay for.

Every time you visit a haunted house, you have to sign some pretty tight liability waivers to enter – after all, their job is to scare you within an inch of your life.

In 2011, Scott Griffin got more than he’d bargained for after a chainsaw-wielding actor scared him so badly he fell and injured his wrist. He sued the operators, but an appeals court judge wrote what we all are thinking, which is that he’d paid money for an “extreme fright,” and had gotten “exactly what he paid for.”

I had never heard of any of these before, and I can’t decide whether or not that was bad.

I suppose all information is good information, right?

Let’s go with that.

A Mom’s Comics Capture Distance Learning in All Its Glory

All of us are coping with 2020 in our own ways.

Some of us are drinking, some of us are screaming into pillows or crying in the shower, and some of us are grabbing tight to any personal outlet of creativity we can muster the energy to use.

For author, illustrator, and mother of two Adrienne Hedger, that means shifting the subject of her beloved comics to capture the insanity of working from home while your kids are learning from home.

Here are 12 of my personal favorites.

12. Yeah the answer is no.

How about you stop asking.

11. You have to assume someone’s camera is always on.

It’s taking spying to a whole new level.

10. There’s just so much to manage.

Take a deep breath.

9. I’m with the kid on this one.

Time has no meaning.

8. This is known.

It happens to the best of us.

7. This has been the best part of Zoom.

You know I’m right.

6. Bless elementary school teachers.

All of the time, but especially now.

5. And yet you do handle it.

Because I mean, what choice do we have?

4. It is a time-honored tradition.

Whether in person or online.

3. If you can help, please do.

Some struggles might be greater than your own.

2. I think we all know the answer to that.

Kids, am I right? And yet you kind of identify.

1. Why are they like this?

Oh, right, because they’re your kids.

I think we can all relate to these!

What’s been the hardest ball for you to keep in the air? Tell us in the comments!

Early Signs That You Have a Smarty Pants on Your Hands

Can we please start this article by saying that there are a hundred ways to be smart and/or savvy, and there are also personality traits that are just as important as intelligence?

The world requires all types to go ’round, and even if your kid isn’t going to attend Harvard one day, that doesn’t mean there’s one single reason to be disappointed.

If you’re curious what the earliest signs of a high IQ are, though – and, yes, that comes with its own set of challenges – below are 9 that could mean your little one is destined for ivy-covered walls.

9. They’re poor sleepers.

Having a child that doesn’t sleep well is frustrating, but you can hold onto the fact that gifted children are typically poor sleepers.

Their brains are too stimulated to rest!

8. They have a good memory.

Image Credit: Pexels

Dr. Han Ren, a psychologist specializing in children, says that having a “detailed memory” is an early sign of intelligence – like remembering where a toy was hidden, or quickly being able to recognize faces.

7. Their personality is forward.

Image Credit: Pexels

A lively disposition is often indicative of high intelligence, as well as a sense of humor and decent social skills.

6. They’re good at focusing.

Image Credit: Pexels

Dr. Deborah L. Ruf, an educational consultant, says that brighter children start paying attention earlier in life.

It might seem like they’re just staring, but you’ll be able to tell soon enough whether they were actually concentrating all along.

5. They have a lot of feelings.

Image Credit: Pexels

A big heart often means a big brain, and Dr. Ren says that “demonstrating compassion and empathy for others” is an early sign of intelligence.

If this is true, my kid – who has had “a lot of feelings” since birth – is going to be a genius.

4. They’re comfortable with adults.

Image Credit: Pexels

If your kid prefers to spend time with older kids or adults, they might be intelligent – and they might be learning from their older counterparts, not just hanging out.

3. They struggle to sit still.

Image Credit: Pexels

Dr. Hillary Hettinger Steiner says that a need for stimulation of all kinds is a sign of intelligence – there’s an upside to a child who is easily bored, essentially.

2. Their language skills are advanced.

Image Credit: Pexels

The Davidson Institute, an education foundation for advanced children, believes that “early and prolific use of language is typical in profoundly gifted children.”

1. They have decent genetics.

Image Credit: Pexels

If you and your partner are gifted, there is a good chance your kid(s) will be bright. Genetics aren’t the only predictor of intelligence, but they do play a large role.

Just sayin’.

There you have it – but remember, there’s always room for the ability to learn and do better, too!
