Polly buys a new iron and uses it for a few months without incident. She was surprised, however, when one day the iron gave her a significant shock. She suffered no lasting damages, but did have some pain from the incident. A few weeks later she read in the newspaper that the manufacturer had known for over a year about the iron's propensity to shock users, but had refused to take recall measures. She also read that some users had been severely shocked. Polly was outraged but wondered if she could sue because she really did not have significant injuries.
