US judge sues dry cleaners for $54m over lost pants!
Afp, Washington
A US judge took the Korean immigrant owners of a dry cleaning business to court on Tuesday demanding 54 million dollars in compensation for losing his trousers, a court source told the wire service. Roy Pearson alleges that Custom Cleaners, run by Korean immigrants Jin and Soo Chung and their son, lost his blue and red-striped grey trousers and misled him with a sign that read "satisfaction guaranteed," according to details cited in US media. He calculated the 54 million dollar penalty under District of Columbia consumer protection laws, at 1,500 dollars for every day the cleaners left the sign up in their shop, ABC news said. The case has dragged on for two years.
