A Commerce woman has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Publix, claiming the grocery chain was at fault when her husband fell into a deep fryer, leading to his 2015 death.
Mansur Blount was a vent hood technician. Part of his job was to clean vent hoods at client businesses, including a Publix location in Dacula, where he was doing that work on June 25, 2015, according to the lawsuit.
A Publix spokeswoman said it is the company’s policy not to comment on open lawsuits.

LOLOL!!!
Yes we do! LOL!!
Blount was “not aware of the hazard” and unfamiliar with the store, according to the lawsuit.
Nonsense.
Bummer.
They never heard of amputation? You survive AND get dinner.
Weren’t the deep fryers covered when they cleaned the vent? Crap from the vents falling back into fryers for extra flavor?
An ambulance chasing lawyer looking for a big out-of-court settlement probably convinced her to file the suit.
It is usually to injured plaintiff's advantage to delay filing until close to the time the statute of limitations expires. Makes the task of finding defensive evidence more difficult, and some defensive evidence may even be lost due to passage of time.
That’s a good explanation. Makes sense.
There are deep fryers large enough for a person to fall into? Have never seen one of those.
Bad headline. Only one leg fell into a fryer and the story still doesn't give any indication of how large the fryer was and how extensive the burns.
