If it's filed.
What do you do when you run out of hairspray? Do you reach for what is clearly labeled a glue and use that?
And then whine when you have to go to the ER to have it removed?
If you do, you're apparently this idiot.

I listen to Handle on the Law. This is about the intelligence level of most of the callers in to his show. We are being overrun by the morons.

Gorilla Glue, hair is NOT skin.
Your product failed to adequately warn, knowing hair glue in fact exists and many Black women use hair glue as hair adhesive & for this, your company is liable.
You should have given her a sponsorship deal.
Instead you will be held accountable
Plastic surgeon offers to help remove Gorilla Glue from woman's hair for free
Beyoncé's hairstylist Neal Farinah offers his help and services for Tessica Brown (aka #gorillagluegirl): "We not going to keep tearing her down. Let’s help her!"
I'm waiting for BLM to throw in and say this was all a racist plot because Gorilla Glue was using a derogatory term for black people to get them to buy the product.
Idiocracy apparently happened to us some time ago and we're just now realizing it.
-
Who uses Gorilla Glue in their hair? I heard about this on a local radio talk show, they run a half hour segment on stupid/unusual/absurd and other similar news events.
One ought not monkey around with these new-fangled superglues. [tinfoil] [popcorn] ;/ :rofl:

How dare the BLM crowd malign the noble gorilla with comparisons to blacks?
It's been all downhill since Harambe.

At least her hair didn't get stuck to one of Hogg's leftist pillows.

Inquiring minds want to know: did the nail polish remover (acetone) work? Since that would have been the first thing I would think of that is relatively non-toxic, with isopropyl alcohol as a Plan B.

Chainsaws don't say "don't use as a shaving device" anywhere which is misleading.
My car doesn't say "did not drive through ANTIFA and BLM crowds who are trying to kill you" anywhere which is misleading

"I'm waiting for BLM to throw in and say this was all a racist plot because Gorilla Glue was using a derogatory term for black people to get them to buy the product."
Yeah, you laugh...
But it's been done. Not by BLM, but by someone a couple of years ago.

https://www.cnn.com/2021/02/08/us/gorilla-glue-girl-scli-intl/index.html
A Louisiana woman has sought medical treatment after mistakenly using Gorilla Glue spray adhesive in place of actual hair spray.
Tessica Brown's plight went viral earlier in February after she revealed that her hair had been stuck in the same style for a month since she substituted her usual Got2b Glued spray with the industrial-strength glue when she ran out.
Yeah so, don't use industrial glue in your hair. Good tip. :O

"multi-use". Has she sense enough to not use it as a personal lube?
-
Brown alleged that she hadn’t been able to remove the glue since spraying it on her ‘do "about a month" before, and ultimately took herself to the emergency room over the weekend, where they apparently instructed her to use sterilized water and nail polish remover pads to remove the adhesive, according to a photo Brown shared on Instagram. Then, on Sunday, Brown shared a YouTube video of another woman helping to apply the pads to her scalp, while Brown wiped away tears and, at one point, winced in pain.
Do y'all read this the same? She waited a month before getting help?
-

Maybe she should. The Darwin Awards needs more candidates.

Maybe she was stuck. She could become the new spokeswoman for the product.

That orta do 'er, by gum-golly. It don't say not to use it to remove glue from hair nohow. Ayup.
I used it to clean the SU carbs on my 240Z. Cleaned 'em right up, it did.

<boomer>and which one of these youngsters even knows what a choke is, anyway?</boomer>

When was the last time you used a manually operated choke in a car or truck?

Last fall. Tractor and golf cart both have manual chokes also.

There's also a choke and aspirated carb on my generator.
Inquiring minds want to know: did the nail polish remover (acetone) work? Since that would have been the first thing I would think of that is relatively non-toxic, with isopropyl alcohol as a Plan B.
Wife2 used to mix isopropyl with acetone nail polish remover.
Apparently there was some kind of cosolvent action there. I remember reading in Hatcher that nitrocellulose was dissolved in a mixture of ether and alcohol (types of ether and alcohol not specified) to form the goo which was extruded to form the smokeless powder grains. The cosolvency was implied.
I recall smelling ether when opening a fresh can of powder.
In any case, I sure wouldn't want to get acetone in the eyes. Maybe that's why the hospital recommended acetone-dampened pads.
But this whole "incident" is so ridiculous I have to question its authenticity. Maybe genuine, maybe not, but it still begs the question.
Seems like it's time for her to bite the bullet and get shorn like a sheep and wear wigs for the nonce.

About a week ago.my M715 of course.

1982 or thereabouts.

Just ridin' along with the posse, HeroHog. But in an actual car, was maybe 2000. I'm almost positive my 240Z had a manual choke.
AD.
But since you asked about "when," I'm not sure the timing matters, since they still sell carb cleaner today. 'Sides, it was just a joke. Imagine spraying that stuff on your head?
:rofl:
I think my suggestion about sheep shearing was the bestest solution.

Monday. 66 International dump truck, and last weekend when I lit the bike off.

I think your memory is just fine, my 73 240Z had a manual choke, so did the two 72s I had for spare parts.

Of course I know what a “choke” is. It is what happens to someone who tweets “ I have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.”

Back to the OP, a security guy at work was talking about this. Apparently, Ms. Glue-My-Hair has a Go Fund Me started, and has raised $13,000+ for medical treatment, which she is apparently going to get free from a cosmetic surgeon. While security guy is telling me this, a dumba$$ lawyer wanders over and tells me that he thinks she has a legit claim since "the glue has warnings about some body parts but not all, which would lead someone to conclude that it was fine for use on body parts not listed." Sad thing is that if the suit gets filed, a judge will throw it out, it will be reversed on appeal, and either settle for cash or end up in front of a jury. With a jury, that question is a real crap shoot.

"Test on an unused portion of your skin."
I figured $150K for a fast settlement that would avoid too much embarrassment for the client. Usual 1/3 split. Not too bad for the mfr, except they'd have to spend $ on a ton of lawyers to revamp their safety notice and avoid liability for the other people who would use it stupidly.
-
I would be interested in her explanation of how she can put it on her hair without getting it on her skin.
-
I'm not that surprised by the number of you who have recently used a choke in an actual car or truck as men of culture, I can see some of y'all owing classic vehicles. For me, it was our old Ford shop wrecker.
-
I don't recall using a manual choke, but I have poured a little gas in the carburetor. Been a while though.

Read more about how the Black community has fought back against Eurocentric beauty ideals and why the pressure of unfair beauty standards might have led Tessica Brown to simply do what she had to do

And for a group that deals with the pressures of racism, sexism, classism, and heterosexism, beauty standards in the community are deeply rooted in oppression in the past and present

Last vehicle I had with a choke was a '76 Chevy pickup. (I sold it in about 2000) It actually had an automatic choke but that didn't work and I somehow converted it to manual. I don't remember the details.

Stupidity should be its own reward.
Stupidity should be painful. If it can't be painful it should be expensive and embarrassing.

My folks used to have one like that. Mid 80's GM pickup, small block v8 with a carburetor. It had a lawnmower choke routed from the dashboard to the carb.

We had a 72 International Disaster Scout II. The automatic choke was a piece of crap. Dad got tired of messing with it and installed a choke button on the dash. Worked great.
-
My 72 Scout II had the AMC 258. It had the manual choke when I got it in 87.
-
Interesting. Ours decidedly had an automatic choke until Dad quit trying to fix it and just replaced it with a hand choke around 1979.

On one of my cars I ran a self-tapping screw into the air cleaner lid so I could squirt a little starting fluid in the manifold directly. Like a charm it worked in cold weather. I don't recall ever having to do this twice. Don't forget to put the screw back in.
I think part of it was that the alternator spin when the engine kicked over boosted the voltage from the cold battery.

My old 390 cu. in. Ford Galaxy 500 with the Holly 850cfm double pumper carb was choke-less. Tromp the gas pedal a few times and crank it. Ya might have to blip the throttle a few times till she had enough heat in her to level out on colder mornings though.

I find myself sometimes pumping the gas pedal when starting modern fuel injected cars. I wonder if the computer senses that and knows what it means :lol:

Can you flood a modern fuel-injected engine? I figured the ECU would prevent that.

I have a transitional period GMC, I catch myself pumping the gas for the throttle body efi. It’s older cousin pissed me off with its Rochester brick of leaks so an Edelbrock went on it. Manual choke conversion too.

So she apparently has a "management team" now? I saw a NY Post article that she and her "team" are busy suing various people. One wonders if maybe she knew what she was doing when she applied the glue. Kinda like that one weirdo girl that filmed herself licking an airline toilet seat (a fake setup) and made herself rich.
