A Plattsmouth woman's widower has sued Wal-Mart and the maker of its plastic bags, alleging an overfilled bag given to her at a Bellevue store broke, and, in a strange twist, led to her death.
William Freis of Plattsmouth said his wife, Lynette, went grocery shopping April 16, 2010, at the Wal-Mart Supercenter on 15th Street and the cashier gave her one plastic bag for two 42-ounce cans of La Choy and a 2-pound bag of rice.
He should also sue the makers of La Choy for putting their product in breakable containers, as well as the shoemakers for not making them resistant to glass.
I guess things like this are why Walmart is encouraging the use of self checkouts. When you bag your own groceries you'll have no one to blame but yourself.
sounds like a accident that could have many cause include how she carried bag. Also sounds like she did not treat the wound and THEN it got infected. Sorry no cash but wal mart might settle which is likely what is be sought in suit. Price go up then to pay the higher insurance liability cost. Law suit nation and needs reformed so non-successful pays court fees.
This is one of those cases where the stupid woman should be counter sued by Wal-Mart just for being stupid.
The Wal-Mart I use does the opposite. They put every little thing in its own bag. I'll never run out of wastepaper basket liners with the Wal-Mart logo.

Did you read the article? Or the thread title? She's dead.
Walmart buys cheap crappy thin bags. They are hard to open and tear easily compared to other stores. This isn't a get rich quick scheme by the husband - it's primarily to recover $656,000 in medical expenses.
When the store sold her the goods it made an implied warranty of merchantability that included the warranty that the packaging was adequate. Title 11, §2-314: Implied warranty: merchantability; usage of trade If the store employee put too much weight in a bag provided by the store, it doesn't seem a stretch to argue that the store breached this warranty.
