The 2003 Dumb-Ass Corporate Lawsuit Awards
Holy Flaming Pastries, Batman! Allstate, like most insurance companies, does not enjoy paying out claims to policyholders who suffer losses, but they upped the corporation-desperation ante recently by dragging food maker Kraft into court during a dispute over a home fire. Allstate claimed that Kraft's "Toastette" pastries are flammable and dangerous and caused the fire that burned the house that Allstate insured, and now does not want to pay out on.
