I wonder what will happen when the same legal proceedings happen with a bicycle chain lubricant.
I wish we had you to decide unilaterally the merit of such cases, so we wouldn't have to rely upon the outmoded and inefficient jury system.
Besides, the O.P. hasn't even provided the name of the alleged lubricant, nor has the O.P. claimed that anyone has banned its sale (apart from the LBS). The thread is looking a lot more like an advertisement for sheep oil.
