Injured While Shopping?
As hard as it is to believe, injuries are occurring to shoppers in large super stores such as Home Depot and Walmart. How are consumers injured while shopping? From falling items stacked high above their heads. These big box retailers place merchandise on shelves way above the heads of unknowing customers --- things such as timber, kitchen sinks and other extremely heavy items. When they fall, these poor customers don't even realize what hit them. In several cases over the past few years, people have died as a result of a corporation's negligence. The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration monitors employee safety, but doesn't investigate or record customer injuries and deaths at these stores. So next Saturday morning when you go to the large super hardware store for a few household items, watch out from above.
