Lawsuits on Candy, Mice, Green Lantern

A few new and unusual lawsuits:

A mother is suing the Chicago public schools and a teacher who allegedly made fun of her daughter's hairstyle (an elaborate one incorporating Jolly Rancher candy) on Facebook.

A man has sued Monster Beverage Co., claiming he found a mouse at the bottom of his can of Monster Energy. The company has called the suit "frivolous and unfounded," and said there is virtually no way for a mouse to get into a can in the production line.

A special effects worker is suing Warner Bros. and others for injuries alleged to have taken place in July 2010 on the set of the upcoming Green Lantern movie.
