Good for her. I see she recovered court costs as well.

"This is the fifth lawsuit we've had against this store for the same problem," Bach said. "This isn't an isolated incident."

I like Wal-Mart's excuse that it was "new packaging" that "confused" them. They're retailers, for crying out loud - this is their job.

Since we're living in an era of "protect corporations at all costs", I expect we'll soon see some posters calling for her to be put to death over this. Hopefully I'll be proven wrong.

Good for her, I am starting to lose patience with wal mart anymore. There are not what they used to be, I tried returning something to another store (still a wal mart tho) a week after buying it (it broke the first use) and the manager had to make a whole scene out of it and told me to please never shop at Wal Mart again. I like the store, but changes need to be made with how they handle problems for them to continue to prosper instead of becoming the next K Mart (which I predict will go completely under in the next 4 years)
