Suit claims Dark and Lovely is really Dye and Die

The autopsy's conclusion was quite clear. It said Cornelia Morris of Chicago died of "an anaphylactic reaction to hair dye." So if someone in your family dies this way, what are you going to do? Naturally, you're going to grieve for a few minutes and then sue.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the Morris family has sued the Loreal Company saying its Dark and Lovely product was responsible for Cornelia's death. The 10-count suit (the paper didn't elaborate on the various counts) seeks $500,000. It seems Cornelia was dying her hair two years ago when she began having trouble breathing and later died at a hospital.

Loreal issued the pat "We always care deeply about the safety of our products" spiel before slamming the door. I really can't see this going to court, but I would really like to know how much Loreal is willing to shell out to make this go away.
