Teens Sue Cosmetics Company Over "Angel Dust"

 

Two North Dakota teens are suing B&B Cosmetics over a glittery eyeshadow product called "Angel Dust". The teens were hospitalized last month after having inhaled the product in question and had to undergo intensive medical treatment.

 

The two boys, aged 15 and 17 ordered the product online, apparently thinking that it was PCP. "We thought it was a clever way to buy and sell PCP without getting caught" they told their parents. They apparently failed to notice the glitter. After snorting the "Angel Dust" at a party, the pair had to be rushed to the emergency room, where they were immediately placed in intensive care. The glitter pieces imbedded themselves in the boys' nasal passages and lungs and have caused potentially irreperable scarring.

 

"We're horrified," the boys' parents told BS News. "We can't believe a company would call this stuff Angel Dust when it's not the real PCP. Our children could have been killed."

 

The boys and their parents are suing B&B Cosmetics, the makers of "Angel Dust". Their lawyers have declined comment. The names of the teens and parents are being withheld for privacy reasons.

 

OK, your turn!

Very funny, Lost Warrior! And, very Onionesque, too. While I have nothing of my own to add right now, I'll instead give a link to my all-time favorite Onion "news" article that absolutely creased me up.

 

This came out in the '90s, as the Harry Potter craze was taking over the nation and certain Christian Right groups were demanding that the books be banned from libraries because of their witchcraft theme:
