For the sake of argument - if someone puts a finger into a blender while it's running, is it logical to sue the blender manufacturer?

Do not want to start an argument but car is never supposed to cut, while blender is.

As mentioned he has his back towards the car, so somehow leaning backwards. I would relate it to a lift auto close mechanism where by mistake if you stand between doors, lift wouldn't close. If it isn't this way you will hear daily news of people getting crushed between doors.

In the United States, the soft door close feature of a BMW X5 failed, causing the upper part of a person's thumb to be severed. The incident occurred in 2016, and the victim took the company to court. Now, the Brooklyn federal court has ordered BMW to pay the victim $1.9 million in damages.

The victim, Godwin Boateng, is a software engineer from New York. When the incident occurred, he was sitting in his BMW X5 with one hand resting on the edge of the driver's side. The car door was half-open when it suddenly closed forcefully, and Boateng's thumb got caught in the door.

By the time he managed to open the door and free his hand, the upper part of his thumb was severed. According to reports, Godwin Boateng stated that the door closed so quickly that he did not have a chance to move his hand. He was immediately taken to the hospital, but doctors couldn't reattach the severed thumb.
