9. A woman in the US (where else?) sued L’Oreal after her hair turned from blonde to dark brown after using a colouring product. Charlotte Feeney accused the cosmetics company of negligence, claiming that the ordeal had left her clinically depressed and had impeded her social life. “I stay at home more than ever [and] wear hats most of the time,” she said, suggesting that all hair colouring products should come with a warning label. But a judge rejected her claim, noting that Feeney had offered “no facts, no opinions and no standards” to support her case.

My favorite one! Where is it written on the box of a hair dye color that it changes the color of your hair? ;D

My favorite weird legal case was that of a man suing his double personality for having made himself lose his job. (Never understood what good doing so could bring him either.)
