Falling Box Iniures Customer

A customer seriously injured when a 200-lb. boxed storage shed fell on him at Home Depot, North Naples, Fl., has filed suit against the chain.

Theodore Loyer, 69, allegedly was trying to remove an unassembled Rubbermaid plastic storage shed from a l2-ft. high shelf April 9, when it fell on his head and on a store employee.

The man was rushed to the hospital, and diagnosed as bleeding in the brain, according to paramedics. During his several weeks in the hospital, his condition was upgraded from critical to serious.

The garden section worker, Fred Roughan, 71, complained of neck pains and was also taken to the hospital, where he was treated and released. Home Depot declined comment.
