A 2 year old child was recently injured by an exploding corona bottle, his parents say, leaving him partially blind. The incident occurred on the July 4th this year, when a Corona bottle exploded near the child, blinding him with fragments of glass.
Groupo Modelo, the company that owns Corona, failed to protect consumers and the general public from defective products such as the bottle involved, say witnesses.
Most manufacturers make sure that their products are free of any potential hazards and take product liability very seriously. But in this case, the beer glass, which is bottled in Mexico and designed for thermal changes, was not of uniform thickness. Now suing for $15 million, the family says the beer was never put through any extreme changes in temperature.
