A woman from Florida, Amelia, recently sued Gillette, alleging that she was injured by a defective razor. She stated that the razor handle snapped as she was shaving her armpit, which injured her face and caused a large gash that required stitches. Amelia claimed that she had endured permanent scarring and sought damages, including $100000 in anticipated treatments. Gillette denied any wrongdoing. Soon after the trial began, the judge made several rulings against Amelia, who was self-represented. Amelia later agreed to drop her claim in response to Gillette's offer to waive legal costs against her (estimated at about $30000) if she did so. According to theGlobe and Mail, Amelia's brother stated as follows: "We spent $21 000 on lawyers and experts, but we have no regrets. Now we know how justice works. Now we are much wiser."
