When my child was a toddler, he developed flu-like symptoms and we gave him Gatorade to keep him hydrated, as he wouldn't take Pedialyte. The doctor approved this, but we were unaware of the high levels of citric acid and sugar in Gatorade, which led to him developing painful cavities. This caused him to stop eating almost everything due to the pain, and we had to spend nearly $10,000 to fix his teeth. Even after the dental work, he still struggles with eating and has a subconscious fear of pain and textures. He is now 7 years old and continues to suffer from these side effects. Had we known of the harmful effects of Gatorade on children's teeth, we would have never given it to him. Due to the absence of warnings on labels, do we have a possible case against Gatorade?

There could be a potential claim against Gatorade if their product labels failed to warn against use...

I am having a website built, and the developer has not completed the work according to the contract and much of what is done is totally unacceptable. When there were two days of their not returning my calls, I posted on JustAnswer and was advised to send them a certified letter. In the meanwhile, they have uploaded some inventory in a most disorganized manner, and it is a disaster. The person who is the head of the company is not doing the actual work, but another person in India. The worker from India just emailed me indicating that the programming is completed. I am about to send this email to the head of the company, and I want advice first: Programming completed? This is beyond belief. Have you looked at the website? Data is thrown up there in a haphazard manner, no photos, empty categories, duplicated pathways, incomplete inventory, no photos for whole categories, and your email says 'Programming Completed'. This is totally unacceptable. If your employees do not have the knowledge or capability to complete this project you need to let me know immediately so that I can find someone who can.
