Isn’t that an illegally forced agreement? I mean, the consumer already bought the product and is forced to enter an agreement after the fact? At least it feels like it would be illegal.
It’s the same with software, sure, but somehow I’ve been brainwashed into thinking it’s ok because it’s a digital product/I only agree to a license of said product.
If this is in the US you are 1 year away before companies can run Squid Games, “illegally forced agreement” is a thing of the past
Squid Game at least honor the votes to end the game, IRL they’ll just cancel elections lmfao.
Well they do hide their own guy amongst the players who can influence the vote
awesome, I hope the hunger games are only a few decades away
Def illégal in Germany. You can’t force an arbitration agreement.
“By opening AND using this product (…)”
Have someone else open it for you, then consume the product yourself. Boom, no contract. Checkmate, lawyers!
hand it to a baby. it’s like the cursed weapon loophole.
And loose your right to claim the Amazon $5 gift card? You’ll fold. Just like all the others.
By reading this comment, you agree to be bound eternally in thrall to me, and wear a maid dress for my amusement.
Ugh damn it man. okay pm me your address
im good
everyone’s all for enthralling randos on the internet, but as soon as they ask A/S/L suddenly its gone to far
thou can serveth me from uhh… over there
I’m sorry, the contract has already been signed.
Jokes on you I’m into that shit
So when do I get the dress?
Post a PO box and I’ll send it over.
Where can I put my case of beer, bed and computer?
wear a maid dress for my amusement.
when you see my hairy ass stuffed into a maid dress and claw your eyes out, it’ll be my amusement then. almost worth the dress…
Vital Proteins got bought out by Nestle and almost immediately turned to shit iirc
I didn’t know this—time to shop for a new collagen supplement.
There should be an “protest buy” action to any the products that do this bullshit. A large group of people buy the products and then return them to the store for a refund. Especially for perishable goods, this would make them worthless. Which would make stocking such products a loss and force the vendors and manufacturers to cut the shit out.
Well, the top cap apparently needs to be torn off to read the sentence, lowering the shelf appeal of the product even though there are other tamper-evident seals present.
Be careful, if you do a “protest buy”, they may legally be able to not accept the return since you already knew about the contract. So you know, either don’t do it or at least don’t post on social media about it.
Yeah you’d want to legally verify that and organize en masse for this to have any impact.
So when my underage child opens this what’s the plan? Clearly theyre not old enough to enter into an “legally” binding agreement, right?
Lol too bad they only wrote it in English
This is a real thing?
Lg tried it on refrigerators, even though refrigerators are not delivered in boxes.So the customer never receives them. The delayed or denied every warranty claim on their stupid 2 stage refrigerant pump, then said since the customer opened the box with the terms agreement that they couldn’t sue. It took more than a year to resolve just that there could be a class action lawsuit against LG.
I’m gonna need some good news soon. This dystopia just keeps getting worse and worse.
The good news is that these things pass, buddy. All things pass, and it’s almost over really. This economy, this president, they won’t last forever. This country, this current set of land masses, this current set of planets. It’s all gonna just…pass. Gonna be just one drop in a lake of space and an ocean of time. Gonna be pressed into a microscopic crease in the fabric of a spacetime already contorted by titanic folds of incomprehensible number and arrangement. Until it can hardly be said to have happened at all.
Everything ends, nothing matters. Be happy for the little things and don’t screw it up for others
The good news is you can choose to save your unborn children the pain of existence on planet earth.
Get a vasectomy. For them.
Somehow… Not the good news I was looking for.
I had one of these fridges. The pumps even got an extended warranty since they failed so often. Mine died on year 6 of the 5 year standard MFG and it still got fixed for free because of the class action lawsuit.
I learned about the lawsuit after the fact too.
No LG appliances, no Samsung appliances… any other brands to avoid?
What is it?
Delevoping liver issues, that’s what it is.
aka Protein powder
This got me curious because I’ve never heard of this, atleast according to this study it does not cause liver issues if you use it properly, aka you exercise and don’t just drink it casually.
“The results showed that when whey protein is used in an uninformed manner and without exercising, adverse effects on the liver may occur by increasing the apoptotic signal in the short term and increasing inflammatory markers and hepatotoxicity in the long term.” - link
Yes, that’s the reason, not that it’s generally bad. I shouldve clarified.
It’s way too easy to take too much. Most people just take their whole daily dose or more with those drinks and forgetting that they get protein from the regular food as well. Most people don’t even know how much protein their body is able to process in a day.
Add too much magnesium to it and your blood tests will show how bad it is for you, and your doctor will get mad at you.
We don’t need this unless youre doing Sport all day long.
They’re bringing back Prima Nocta.
hilarious. I think they’re doing you a favor so you don’t have to buy this product ever again
a kidney or other superfluous organs. mmm fruity

It says you’re bound by “opening and using” the product, rather than “opening or using”. Have someone else open it for you. Then neither of you have done both.
Go one step further and have someone under 18 who cannot legally enter into a contract open it haha
Thus is the kind of legalistic bullshit interpretation I can get right behind
Contractual malicious compliance let’s go
Yeah but just to be clear, the terms are likely there for a reason and using this product probably has risks associated.
The only product I want to use with a liability waiver attached is the bungie cord at the fair.
Apparently, it’s full of lead.
Why would a bungee cord have lead?
Weight makes you go faster
I think it should be “and/or” because if it’s just “or” the terms would only apply if you either open it or use it.
No, that’s xor
I think having someone open if for you still counts. You’d have to already find one opened.
Leave it in a workplace fridge with a clear sticker saying “MIKES DO NOT TOUCH”
This is Vital Proteins brilliant response to being taken to court over heavy metal and “foreign materials” contamination in their products.
I’m sure they definitely didn’t think removing all those pesky “foreign materials” and next-gen metals from they products…
Do you have any supporting links? I saw a reddit post saying something similar but I cant find a real article or support. Either way I am returning the product.

Found searching ‘“vital proteins” lawsuit’
Sued by an environmental nonprofit for failing to warn about the presence of lead and heavy metals as required by CA law. They settled.
prop 65 is a useless law that goes against known science about hazard limits, causing manufacturers to have to label nearly everything with warnings. if a company is violating that law, it usually doesn’t mean much.
Found searching ‘“vital proteins” lawsuit’
that’s just cheating
In the ’20s tho? Not rly
Seems like a labelling issue due to california laws rather than legitimate ingredient flaws with toxic or heavy metals.
Honestly you should assume all supplements are toxic and full of heavy metals, because that shit is virtually unregulated.
To some degree I totally agree. If you don’t find 3rd party lab verified then I’d be skeptical. Not just any 3rd party. It has to be from legitimate Orgs and trusted vendors.
I’m unsure how much people look at labels now days, unless you have a health issue requiring it. The levels of say vitamins manufacturers add to even like biotin or other vitamins/supplements. Thousands and sometimes 10s of thousands more than a daily dose your body can consume. Which means your kidneys or liver have to process that out. Things are toxic in high doses.
Its all about balance. A lot of these supplements are way way out of balance. It’s a shame, businesses or people can’t be reputable.
perhaps related to this?
