MIAMI A second woman is suing wine and spirit maker Bacardi, claiming she was seriously burned by flaming rum during a night out in Miami.
WILD NIGHTS IN MIAMI!
A friend who was with her has already sued the company.
The women say they suffered serious burns after being hit by the flaming rum, and claim one of Bacardi’s products is defective and dangerous.
RUM DEFECTIVE??? THE NATURE OF ALCOHOL IS THAT IT IS FLAMMABLE! (6TH GRADE SCIENCE CLASS)
The lawsuits are filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court.
A bartender, who wasn’t identified in either lawsuit, was pouring shots of Bacardi 151 when a customer lit a menu on fire and placed it in the stream of alcohol.
WAS THIS CUSTOMER A FRIEND WHO HAPPENED TO BE WITH THESE TWO BRAINLESS WOMEN??? PERHAPS HE SHOULD BE NAMED IN THE SUIT, SOLEY, AS THE IRRESPONSIBLE PARTY.
The lawsuits say the bottle turned into a flame thrower and sent flaming rum everywhere.
NO SHIT.
The Miami-based company says it won’t comment on the suits, but that the product is clearly labeled with warnings against setting fire to it.
END OF STORY.

Amazing. I wonder if it says on the Rum label not to fill a syringe with it and inject it into your brain. If not there could be another lawsuit coming.
Nancy,
I saw this article today and shook my head. I cannot believe that 1) people would be stupid enough to sue the beverage maker for somebody's stupidity around alcohol and 2) that there would be a screw-up attorney willing to take the case.
Welcome to the blog world Nancy....good job on your first post on Merri Musings!
Well hell.....if people can try to sue McDonalds for their fat arses why not Bacardi???? ha ha
