If a Nashville man's lawsuit holds up in court, the verb "to Tazo" just might enter common parlance, as in "Don't Tazo me, bro!"

Bernie Bublick claims a bottle of Tazo Giant Peach Tea blew up at his home on April 5, sending shards of glass into his right hand and damaging a tendon. He says he has gone through two surgeries on the hand to repair the damage.

Bublick's legal complaint, filed yesterday in Davidson County Circuit Court and available at this link, asserts that the Whole Foods Market in Green Hills was negligent in selling him the bottle and that Starbucks, maker of Tazo, was negligent in manufacturing it.

The lawsuit says the explosion was not an isolated event. On April 19, with his enthusiasm for Tazo Giant Peach evidently undimmed, Bublick went back to Whole Foods and bought another bottle of the unpredictable elixir.

It exploded.

1. Bad batch, for sure. The store should take it off the shelves until they know why.

2. Fermentation

Like the bottle bombs you can get homebrewing. The pasteurization process must have been ineffective.
