By Rich Cholodofsky TRIBUNE-REVIEW Thursday, January 8, 2004 A Mt. Pleasant Township couple wants Wal-Mart to pay for foot and toe injuries they claim were caused by canned goods and condiments that tumbled from an overfilled plastic grocery bag.

"But the reason I am suing Charter is they did not let me make a decision as to what was best for myself and my family and (they have been) keeping cable (coming) into my home for four years after I asked them to turn it off," he wrote

I could just scream!!!! Who among us hasn't had a bag break? Would you run to an attorney because of it? NO WONDER the price of everything is going up. Businesses have to defend themselves against ridiculous lawsuits constantly. Seems Wal-Mart and McDonald's have the deepest pockets these days.

The callousness displayed on this thread is sickening. This woman was seriously injured and could even been killed. Some people have no conception of the grocery bag threat.
We should have federal inspectors, and probably a lawyer, at every checkout counter to guard against this.

The store "failed to use two or three bags or whatever number of bags were necessary to accommodate the heavy items placed in said bag." Did they ask for the items to be double or triple bagged? Apparently not. Stores generally don't double-bag items unless you ask.

They should have the rest of their toes broken. Then onto the a_sh_le lawyer who is taking the case for his/her 33% to 50% split.
