The Cat in the Microwave? (Die Katze in der Mikrowelle?)Georg WenglorzIndependent Patrick S. RyanGoogle Inc.; University of Colorado at Boulder, Interdisciplinary Telecommunications Program; Catholic University of Leuven (KUL) - Interdisciplinary Center for Law and Information Technology (ICRI) Recht der Internationalen Wirtschaft, Vol. 8, p. 598, 2003 Abstract: This article (written in German) examines the origins of the mythical 'cat in the microwave' case that is so often discussed abroad. This case is, in reality, little more than a legal 'urban legend.' Other urban legends exist, such as the 'real' McDonald's Coffee Spill case, which was settled out-of-court and for which the true facts and outcome are not truly known. The authors propose alternatives for teaching of U.S. tort law abroad.
