Will George sue the envelope company for Susan's death??????

Does anybody think that George, being the opportunist that he is sometimes portrayed to be, will sue the wedding card company for the death of Susan by their poison glue???

George could not sue the company. He and Susan were of no relation to each other under the law. Had they been married, which was unlikely at best, he could have sued. Susan's parents ought to sue both the company that sold them, the manufacturer, and both the hospital and the doctor. If Susan was alive when she reached the hospital and the toxin was only mild, one must suspect medical incompetence on the part of the hospital staff. The parents out to consider suing the FDA as well, since they are supposed to inspect envelope glues for toxins before approving them for market use (incidentally, they do check this closely in real life). I'm not sure if the government is liable for failing to enforce safety regulations or failing to force a recall of dated material but I think they are. But no matter how many ways you slice it, George doesn't stand to gain a cent. In fact, if there's any justcie in Seinfeld (which there isn't, of course) George ought to be hit by a bus.

he can't sue the company, it went out of business, that's why the cards were so cheap.

I'm sure that if it was Kramer, he would sue, but would end up blowing the case by getting a lifetime supply of envelopes and stamps (Newman might not like that, though)

Well, I'm not sure, but I don't think he has a legal basis for suing for what is termed "loss of consortium" as he was not yet married to Susan. If they were married, I am pretty sure he could sue, perhaps not the envelope company, but the stationary company that sold the envelopes.

George could sue the retailer for breach of warranty of merchantability. He paid for envelopes that weren't lethal and got defective and unreasonably dangerous envelopes. He is only entitled to be compensated with an amount of money to purchase merchantable quality envelopes. He is not entitled to big bucks for tort damages because George has no standing to sue because he suffered no cognizable injury. Had George been married to Susan he could have sued for her wrongful death because his loss would have been recognized by law. So George misses out on a substantial pot of gold which further proves what we've known all along: George is a LOSER!!!
