Ask anyone who works at a bottling plant how often this occurs.

Parents should have had better taste in beer. Could be a glass defect I guess but even though beer is carbonated it's not like it's under a whole lot of pressure relative to, say, a can/bottle of soda. I would imagine getting a beer bottle to explode would be a pretty neat trick.

"Danzi says his damaged eye might restrict him from a 'wide range of professions and activities'." Like becoming Bottle Quality Inspector at the Corona Bottling Plant, for example?.

This is the first time I've heard of beer bottles spontaneously exploding. I'm not sure it would be fair to say the company is liable, unless it seems to be a common problem. It's not like a Corona truck driver beat a guy up and then Corona refused to help find the guy. That's a Yuengling thing.

The new party trick is to slap down on the top of the bottle and watch the bottom blow out. This is not new.

Why would people think a glass bottle under pressure is indestructible? The new party trick is to slap down on the top of the bottle and watch the bottom blow out.

The bottle's cap was still on, according to the lawsuit.

Why was he trying to open the beer in the first place?
