January 3, 10, 17, 24, 31; Feb, 7. i'his is the Law By Robert E. Lee (For the N. C. Bar Association) HAIR RINSE Mary purchased a hair rinse at a drug store. She read the direc tions on the box for its use, and followed these directions the three times she used the preparation to rinse her hair. Each time hr scalp became irritated. Prior to its use she had never had any trouble with her scalp or head. After its third use she consult ed a doctor, who found that she had weeping dermatitis of her en tire scalp, behind her ears, on her face, and somewhat down the back of her neck. She was taken to the hospital, and incurred considerable expense. As her witness in court, the doc tor testified that Mary's scalp ailment was caused by some chem ical coming in contact with the scalp, but he could not say what that chemical might be. There was made no chemical analysis of the hair rinse. Mary had a girl friend who tes tified that she had rinsed her hair with the same rinse and that it caused her scalp to become red and inflamed. Mary sued the corporation t’na't operated the drug store. Was Mary able to recover a judgment for damages ? This was an actual case decided by the Supreme Court of North Carolina within the past year. Mary was not permitted to recov er. The Supreme Court said that the superior court was justified in nonsuiting the case—that is, in re fusing to send it to the jury. In its opinion, the Supreme Court said: “It would seem that the cause of plaintiff'.- dermatitis January 9, 1947 Mr and Mrs W. I. Willis of Ridgecrest have announced the marriage of their daughter.

It may be that she and her girl friend were allergic to the ingredients of this hair rinse. Al though there are contrary decis ions, it has been generally held— and it seems the sounder view— that in an action by the buyer of a product against the seller for breach of warranty to recover damages for injuries resulting from the use of the product, there is no liability upon the seller, where the buyer was allergic or unusually susceptible to Injury from the product, which fact is wholly unknown to the seller and peculiar to the buyer, “Jt may be that there was a poisonous substance in the hair rinse, but there is no evidence to support such a conjecture,. "We cannot resort to a choice of possibilities: that is guesswork, not decision. "We conclude that there is a to tal absence of proof of any dam age to plaintiff proximately re sulting from breach of warranty." We Salute We salute you on your birthday.
