Thread: There was one not long ago!

Sorry, that was in Fort Erie, Not St. Catherines. Also, the amount awarded was somewhat in the range of $3.5 million.

Here are two links to the lawsuit:

Really how can someone sue a company over a product. Its not like they made the item that caused the injury, they jsut sold it. If someone slipped on some ice which caused an injury or incurred an injury which was directly related to something at the physical store or building, then i could see a lawsuit. But how can you sue a retailer if you are injured buy the item they sold you, isn't that a manufacturer problem?

It may have not been a defect in the bike but a poorly put together bike. I can speak from experience that Canadian Tire employees cannot put together a bike and the worst part is they won't sell it to you so you can do it yourself.

Another case of "Canadian Tire knows best".

Acctually most Canadian Tire's hire an outside Proffessional Bike Builder. It is not the CT staff asembling these bikes for this exact reason
