The product, in the report: metal and plastic shopping cart
March 23, 2017 around 11:45AM: The consumer was looking for a facial cream product in the personal care isle. An employee asked the consumer if she needed assistance shopping and asked her if she wanted to use a shopping cart. The consumer agreed and continued shopping.
While using the cart, the cart flipped over and fell on top of her. She was bleeding from all over. Her head, arms, and body were injured. The department manager, [REDACTED], immediately took her into a room and filed an incident report. They did not call an ambulance or provide any medical assistance.
The consumer went home and laid down to rest since she was feeling weak from the incident. After 3 days, the consumer was able to go to the ER. She was checked in and immediately directed into the Trauma unit, doctors were able to determine that the consumer received several injuries to her head, body, and arms. She is now wearing a special device to hold her hand since she is not able to function. She is disabled on her right arm due to this incident.
The security cameras were able to record this incident. TJ MAXX’s insurance called her later on the same day of incident and let her know that they had ordered the security tape to view the incident. 2-3 later they let her know that they were reviewing the tape. At this point the consumer was already lawyered up and they both waited to receive the tape for personal viewing. After the disposition, TJ MAXX’S insurance let the consumer know that they lost the tape and she would not be receiving any compensation.
After hiring a lawyer TJ MAXX has kept quiet about the incident. Now, TJ Maxx is saying that they don’t have the footage of her being injured, they state that they “Lost” the footage. Right after this incident occurred, TJ MAXX changed their camera system from the old-fashioned recording camera to the updated CCTV cameras.
The consumer was able to speak with ex-[REDACTED] special investigation agent [REDACTED]. Agent [REDACTED] was able to perform an investigation with all of the carts in the store and was able to deduct that the wheels on the shopping carts had been lubricated with a slippery substance that caused the cart to slip and fall on the consumer. Both the consumer and the [REDACTED] agent know that this incident is being covered up by the TJ MAXX. The consumer has gone to trial with TJ MAXX and nothing has been resolved due to the “missing” tape. The consumer has been trying to file legal perspective on the matter since the date of the incident and has even spoken to the Governor’s office of Florida. The consumer would like to raise alert to these carts as they can pose a life-threatening bodily injury hazard to other consumers.
