An 81-year-old Milwaukee man has sued the Brut cologne company after the product allegedly ignited when he used a campfire. According to the complaint, Charles B. Lewitzke had just freshened up with Brut when the accident occurred. He is also suing Walmart. Such product liability cases will likely turn on the jury decision over a defective warning and a possible defective design claim. The case was filed in the U.S. District Court in Wisconsin’s Eastern District this week.

You might want to fix the broken paragraphs in this post, Jonathan. Looks like the wording got a little messed up.
Splashing on alcohol-laced cologne by a campfire? Who would have thunk it would ignite!?
I really hate these blame-everybody-but-me lawsuits.
Quick: Somebody tell the guy not to inject Brut up his butt, either.
