The Associated Press has a yuck factor-worthy story about a couple suing Wal-Mart over slip in a puddle of vomit

The story goes on to say that June Medema, slipped in the vomit at a Davenport, IA Wal-Mart on June 13, 2005 and was seriously injured in the fall.
The lawsuit alleges that Wal-Mart’s negligence led to Medema’s fall, but it does not specifically say how the store was negligent.

Slipping in a puddle of vomit is pretty nasty
