Georgia Court of Appeals
Brenda Sheats v. The Kroger Co. et al..

Affirmed In Part/Rev In Part & Remanded
Automated case summary
What the court decided
The Georgia Court of Appeals affirmed summary judgment for Kroger on product liability but reversed it on ordinary negligence while vacating the denial of spoliation sanctions against Kroger. The court held that there was no evidence to alert anyone to a defect, meaning discarding the package was not relevant to the ordinary negligence claim.
