BMW sued for Erection
http://m.minyanville.com/?guid=5173&catid=5
You hear about motorcycle riders falling in love with their choppers, but getting physically aroused over one is really pushing the boundaries of social acceptance. When a 52-year-old California man’s BMW produced stirrings in his loins that simply refused to ebb, he took out his frustration on the very object of his affection -- or at least its manufacturer. Henry Wolf is suing BMW of North America for giving him an erection during a road trip in May of 2010 that has not gone away, to this day. * In his civil lawsuit, filed last week in San Francisco Superior Court, Wolf claims his unflagging two-year medical condition began immediately following a four-hour round trip motorcycle ride on his 1993 BMW motorcycle. Wolf believes the bike’s “ridge-like” seat he had installed to enhance comfort was “negligently designed” and thus caused this unwanted hardship. Corbin-Pacific, the maker of the seat, is also named as a defendant. Since that fateful ride, Wolf has suffered from a side effect usually associated with erectile dysfunction drugs such as Pfizer’s (PFE) Viagra or Eli Lilly and Company’s (LLY) Cialis as well as some antipsychotics. The condition, called priapism, is a painful erection that keeps the penis from returning to its flaccid state. In Wolf’s case, priapism is a 24-7 affair. * “It’s very embarrassing, and all kind of problems developed,” said Wolf’s attorney, Vernon Bradley. “He had to reconfigure his clothing, and going to the bathroom was a problem.” Wolf was told by a number of physicians he consulted that the special Corbin-Pacific seat combined with the long ride was the direct cause of his priapism. Thus far, Wolf’s condition has not responded to a variety of drug therapies and, according to Bradley, surgery is his last hope. * The lawsuits, which seek compensation for medical expenses, emotional distress, and lost wages, will be served to both BMW America and Corbin-Pacific this week. The companies have one month to respond. |
