Sex-toy trouble leads to lawsuit, bad vibrations

This Rabbit is no Easter bunny.
A New Hampshire woman claims in a lawsuit that one of the world's most popular sex toys known as the I-Vibe Rabbit sent her to the emergency room with burns from leaking battery acid.
``I was in agony,'' the 55-year-old Salem office worker told the Herald. ``It took me two days to work up the courage to go to the hospital. It was so embarrassing.''
In a suit pending in Suffolk Superior Court in Boston, her lawyer, Marc S. Alpert, sued Rabbit makers Doc Johnson Enterprises of California, Duracell battery maker Gillette, Walgreen's and the Waltham sex boutique Lifestyles Inc., where the woman, who did not want to be identified, and her boyfriend bought the vibrator for $89.
The woman said she was burned by the Rabbit - first popularized on the HBO series ``Sex in the City'' - on April 4, 2002, the first time she ran the machine with batteries purchased at Walgreen's.
Her lawyer said none of the defendants in the case will take the blame. ``The battery people claim the product should have had an acid catcher,'' Alpert said.
A spokeswoman for Doc Johnson Enterprises of North Hollywood said she could not comment.
The Rabbit put the plaintiff out of commission in the bedroom so long she lost her boyfriend.
``He broke up with me,'' she said.
What an insensitive and impatient man the boyfriend is!!!! If he really cared for her he would have settled for anal until she healed......
If you look hard enough you will always find a silver lining. The I-Vibe Rabbit has been marked down from 89.00 to 56.00.
Now women all over America will be able to burn and scar their vaginas affordably.

Check the batteries.
Sheesh, how difficult is that.
Mrs. Throbber and I always do a thorough inspection before all sexual activities. It takes a while to check 17 devices, but safety first I always say.
I really feel sorry for the woman. Not only does she lose her boyfriend (good riddance) but she faces gossip about a very private matter. In my estimation the bf is a small loss. By inference he wasn't able to satisfy her anyway. Then at a time when she could use a shoulder to lean on, he bolts. Not a manly thing to do.
I agree, Bob. They outta save every other woman and publish his name in the paper.
I've always wondered what Slappy's real name is!
Haha Squinney
Could it be that the New Hampshire woman just outrun
the energizer bunny toy and in a last effort, the batteries
caved in and started leaking?
Furthermore, how embarrassing can it be when you
start suing the manufacturer and battery maker? Did she
think this would be a closed session?
So many questions, so little answers.....
I gather from his posts she wouldn't have made the purchase as it would be superfluous.
Apparently not bob

The way I read it, they bought it together.

along with a double head dong, anal beads and a studded cock ring. It was a holiday weekend.
Hahaha!
Whatever happened to beautiful sex without all the gadgets?
Hi Calamity
I think you didn't understand "his post". Since the bf had no posts the his posts I referred to was Slappy from the post before yours. Judging by Slappy's voracious appetite no accessories would be required.
Oh, I'm sorry bob, I misunderstood indeed.
wow.. poor waoman.
I would hate to have my ' love muffin' burned by battery acid!!!
and yeah. agreed. the b/f sounds like a work of art.
Piece of crap he was, it was a big blow to her ego to have him leave her because of this though....
But.. um... battery acid isnt CLEAR.. how in the world did she NOT see this on her toy?
Even more so, it takes a little while for battery acid to work its way through rubber.. the holes in the toy would have been plain as DAY to see??!
I understand the logic Shewolf. I have it on good authority my "toy" never leaks any battery acid.
I better go check mine for holes now...
and make sure it is running right
i would hate to have it break down on me.
So far regular maintance, and test runs are the
only way to keep it in hopping good shape. ;-)
From all I hear you'va a "AAA" rating.
Shewolf actually has hers hooked up to redundant truck batteries under the bed with a trickle charger so they're always charged up.
Stumble It!
