1. Teenager Detained in Norfolk Airport for Gun Design on her Purse
Fashion and police are actually two things that work together – or so they say. On a recent encounter in
Norfolk International Airport, Florida ten Vanessa Gibbs was faced with utmost confusion as officers of
the Travel Security Administration hold her of security reasons initiated by the miniature gun design on
her purse. "She was like, 'This is a federal offense because it's in the shape of a gun,'" Gibbs stated. "I'm
like, 'But it's a design on a purse. How is it a federal offense?'"
"It's my style, its camouflage, it has an old western gun on it," Gibbs toldreporters. The 17-year old
teenager didn’t really expect that her purse’s design would cause such a commotion as she claimed to
have not met any trouble – using the purse very often – when she travelled from Jacksonville to the
north and back home. The delay cost Gibbs her flight, and being pregnant, her mother worried on the
delay in arrival.
Nevertheless, after proving that the gun was a fake obviously, Gibbs was released and was given a flight
to Orlando and take another plane ride to reach her destination. On much more severe time and
charges, innocent victims like Gibbs can opt to hire lawyers and defend tem against unruly accusations –
or to file lawsuits against greedy companies.
I think the case of the recalled hip replacement by Johnson & Johnson is a very good example. J & J’s
subsidiary, DePuy Orthopaedics Inc., is one of the biggest companies to formally state a recall on
defective hip implants used all across America for hip replacement operations. The recall basically
started after a group of orthopedics noted the rapid increase on patients needing revision surgeries to
replace the defective model they have.
As mentioned a while ago, DePuy issued a recall to ensure that their name – including Johnson &
Johnson’s – would not be tainted. Seeing this as a sign of greed, some medical practitioners encourage
their victims to file a hip lawsuit and find a very skilled and experienced depuy hip recall lawyer to help
them win the case.
Rather than being subjected to the recall which would just basically replace the defective implant on
you with another one, the lawsuit is much more advantageous as suffering patients can let their voice of
pain be heard in court and demand for the right compensation the defective hip cups have brought to
them.
The case proceedings might take some time, but rest assured, the fruits of your waiting will be sweet
and well-appreciated.
