Couple demands $1 million for damage to love life

 

The Associated Press - ATLANTA

 

A couple is suing Home Depot and the manufacturers of a grout sealing product for $111 million _ including a $1 million claim that the product destroyed their sex life.

 

Jay Flynn of Lilburn, Ga., and his wife Laura, said that he became ill and was hospitalized for four days after using an allegedly defective batch of Tile Perfect Stand'N Seal Grout Sealer in July 2005.

 

According to the lawsuit, doctors told Flynn his lungs were permanently damaged by fumes from the product, which left him with only half his normal breathing capacity.

 

As a result, Flynn had to quit his job as a product manager and stop coaching his son's baseball team. In addition, his "once active" love life has suffered.

 

The couple is seeking $100 million in punitive damages, $10 million for injuries and $1 million for harm to their love life.

 

"We were still newlyweds when this happened," said Laura Flynn. "We had an extremely active love life. I mean every day. But now that is over."

 

The suit claims that dozens of defective cans stayed on the shelves until September 2005, even after a national recall in August.

 

A representative of Roanoke Companies Group, the Illinois-based manufacturer of the product, declined to comment on the pending case.

In a statement, Atlanta-based Home Depot said it has cooperated with the Consumer Product Safety Commission "to ensure all appropriate actions had been taken to protect consumers," and added that "Roanoke Companies has been investigating reports of injuries sustained to users of Stand 'N Seal."

She can say whatever she wants, but can she describe his penis?

How much is my love life worth?

 

Me: It obviously depends on the scenario.

 

Greasy: (not here to defend himself) Infinity.

 

Jas: (also not here to defend himself) About as much as a Hustler and a box of Kleenex.

All kidding aside, if the product caused him health issues I think they do have a case. They could have made the point crystal clear without disclosing the bedroom issues.
