walmart shopping bag kills woman

[baggg]

The Nebraska woman was being rung up at the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Bellevue on April 16th, 2010, when the cashier decided to place the two 42-ounce La Choy cans she purchased as well as a two-pound bag of rice in a single plastic bag.

While walking back to her car, Lynette's bag failed, causing one of the La Choy cans to fall on her right foot, resulting in a deep cut and the fracturing of her big toe.

She soon developed an infection that neither antibiotics nor two surgical procedures were able to cure, and ultimately passed away on March 12th, 2011.

In a wrongful death suit filed in February by Lynette's husband William, three defendants are blamed for setting in motion the chain of events that led to the Plattsmouth native's death: Wal-Mart Stores, for failing to train its employees in the art of double-bagging; Hilex Poly Co., for manufacturing a "defective" plastic bag; and Bunzi Distribution, for distributing a "defective" plastic bag.

In addition to $657,000 for medical and funeral expenses, William is also seeking an unspecified amount on behalf of his wife for her pain and suffering as well as the "loss of consortium."

Where I live we only accept quality bags that can hold 3 42-ounce La Choy and 2 x 2lb bags of rice.

Saying that I find it laughable that anyone could believe that Wal-Mart is in anyway liable. Surely the women was an imbecile.

How in fucks name could the medical bills exceed 1/2 a million bucks blows my mind.

This is clearly a case of greed.

i say it everytime i leave any grocery store, they don't train employees on how to bag groceries. i took pride when i bagged groceries as a youngster, put on a good show flipping cans really fast into a crispy, newly popped open paper bag and then a deft touch putting the bananas on top!

[bronco67]

That's a bunch of bullshit. I hate WalMart as much as the next person, but they're not responsible for her death.

[vdbucks]

I absolutely fucking hate when the morons at the grocery store put my goddamn bread in the same bag as the heavy shit... and vertically next to all the heavy shit to boot...

[tokmansta]

No doubt the pig who died from the infection was 250 pounds and had diabetes from eating junk food all her life. No doubt her circulation was bad in her toes and of course she waited till it got infected badly before she sought medical treatment.
