Reply To: Shaitle Fraud Chillul Hashem Video: Sha'ar haTumah haChamishim

GAW, it was a clearly frum couple suing a non-Jewish laundry service for ruining a sheitel. The uncontroverted facts were that the sheitel got mixed up in the laundry. The laundry called the owners to insure they wanted it washed. There was a mix up, with the owners saying “don’t wash it,” and the laundry hearing “wash it.” The wig got ruined. The owners sued for $3,000.00 The judge did not ficus so much on whether the owners authorized the laundry to wash the sheitel, since once they undertook to do it, they had a duty to not ruin the item. Rather the judge focused on if the wig can be repaired or not. Ostensibly during a recess, the judge called the wig manufacturer, and learned that the wig in question was not the wig sold for $3,000.00 and that the frum couple were lying.
