can i seu Pepsi or Coca-Cola for rotting my teeth and gums for the same amount. I've noticed there are no warning labels on their cans or bottles or anything that says to brush your teeth when you are finished with their product. I can use $100s of millions. Are there any lawyers available who would take my case?

You can't sue for Hundreds of millions. The tobacco suit was a class action suit. States got the money. It is up to you to brush you teeth YOU need a label for that. Geeeeeeeeeez.

Depends, do you have lung cancer? Possibly caused by the tobacco company if so then yes...will you win...probably not. They will drag it out so long expecting you to die first. If you healthy then no, you can't.

Man if you are in USA you can sue who you like. But, do you have a big enough pool of money to take them on.

Every lawsuit against tobacco companies by consumers or their families has failed. What brought down the tobacco companies was a man named Robert Blakey. He was instrumental in writing the RICO statutes that put the Mafia out of business. Those RICO statutes were then modified and applied against the tobacco industry in general. It was so successful that influential people realized that the RICO statutes could be successfully used against anyone at anytime for any reason. For that reason, legislation was passed to prevent a recurrence of such tactics against any other legitimate industry. But I gotta admit, if I could, I'd sue the liquor companies for all the ugly women I woke up next to, the following morning.

There were plenty of smokers who found a lawyer even after everyone knew about what smoking did to the lungs. It took a long time before the judges cut that foolishness out. It was done again with McDonald's and the "everything makes you fat" suing craze. I see no reason you can't find a lawyer somewhere to take the case. Of course you have to wait until your teeth look like "all to be d*mned" before you can sue. You're going to need "Exhibit A" to show the jury so they can be horrified and immediately hand you millions of dollars. Better hurry. Now that you've broadcasted the idea and others have heard it, time is short before somebody beats you to this.

well yes but there are lots of people with the same problem and they dont do nothing about it so I guess you can do something but no guaratees ok. But you got a good point there my friend who knows you may get lucky. But they are going to ask for facts and prove that they caused the problem that is the thing can you prove it beyond reasonable doubt you got it win if you cant start looking for facts and good luck
9 :
probably not for millions. the suit agains the tabacco industry was a class action suit, meaning that money was split up between lots of people. you'd have to prove that pepsi/coke was the ONLY thing that made your teeth rot. if you're not brushing your teeth, then every other thing you eat is doing the same. So, they would only be partly to blame. Then, you'd have to prove that you had some 'loss' caused by the company. This would probably just be your teeth. So, unless you get a very good, very expensive lawyer, they may pay for part of your dental work, but not all of it because other food companies added to the loss.

Since they stopped putting cocaine in Coca-Cola it is no longer addictive. You couldn't sue for rotting teeth any more than Dunkin Donuts patrons can sue because they get fat eating them.
11 :
Yes you can certainly try. After all .......it IS the "american Dream" To win a wrongful death or injury law suit. Especially if you can get a lawyer to take your case on a continjency basis.
12 :
Heck I should be able to sue McDonald's for making me fat! lol, no you can't sue over that in theory what you say is right and logical but they don't allow it. I think it's silly people can sue the tobacco companies and win over doing something they did willingly.
