TALLAHASSEE - A man is suing after allegedly being injured from exploding pop bottles.
Damon Pitts filed a complaint on June 30 in Leon County Circuit Court against Walmart Stores East, LP and Coca-Cola Bottling Company United, Inc. for negligence.
According to the complaint, on Feb. 29, 2020, Pitts was in a Walmart and reached to grab a Dr. Pepper from the shelf.
