Wal-Mart Stores v. Superior Court CA2/5
Plaintiff Gracelynn Jun sued defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (Wal-Mart) after she was struck by a motorized shopping cart and injured by its sharp edges. Respondent court granted her discovery motion in part and ordered Wal-Mart to produce records of all litigation involving motorized shopping cart collisions at all Wal-Mart stores nationwide. We grant in part Wal-Mart’s petition for extraordinary relief and limit discovery to prior lincidents involving pedestrians struck by the sharp edges of a motorized shopping cart or claims that Wal-Mart’s shopping carts lacked bumper guards or other safety mechanisms, including edge coverings, warning buzzers, or electronic stop devices.
