Couple sues Wal-Mart over broken grocery bag

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.
According to a two-count civil lawsuit filed Wednesday in Westmoreland County, Brenda and Ronald Sager contend a plastic bag they brought home from the East Huntingdon Township store last month was deficient and overstuffed.

The bag, which contained a 32-ounce jar of Miracle Whip, a 46-ounce bottle of ketchup, three 15-ounce cans of fruit, an 18-ounce bottle of ranch dressing and a 12-ounce bottle of mustard, broke open when the Sagers returned home and started to put away their groceries.

That's when the handle tore and the bottom of the bag broke, the Sagers claim.

And rightfully so, any store that sells that crap ( miracle-whip ) deserves to be sued. JonR

I heard somewhere that Wal-Mart has a "no settlement" policy regarding these types of things. Supposedly, if you want money from Wal-Mart, it has to go to trial.

Anyone confirm/deny this rumor?

Billy,
Don't know if the "no settlement" policy is true, but in a Newsweek spread a couple of months ago the reporters gave the impression that Wal-Mart is a no-nonsense company. The rumor is probably true.

I dunno their policies in this case, but based on the business dealings I've had with their HQ, I'm willing to bet they're one hell of a tough nut to crack ...
