Default Vacuum cleaner blow sparks claim

A man is suing cleaning giant Dyson for damages after his new vacuum cleaner
sent him flying down the stairs.

At Aberdeen Sheriff Court, he said the hose extension knocked him down his
stairs as he tried to clean cobwebs.


An adult, stands on a chair at the top of a flight of stairs, stretches
as far as he can with a push-fit extension hose and then sues when the
hose comes apart and he loses his balance!!!

Dyson admitted liability for the accident and the court must now decide the
amount of damages to be paid.


Dyson's insurers are crazy to admit liability (IMO).

A Dyson spokesman: ".. Dyson would not recommend that anyone use their
vacuum cleaner while standing on a chair at of the stairs."
