    Case 0:17-cv-60116-DPG Document 1 Entered on FLSD Docket 01/18/2017 Page 1 of 17 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA CASE NO.: BOYD JOHNSON, individually, and on behalf of others similarly situated, Plaintiff, vs. WAL-MART STORES, INC., Defendant. ________________________________________/ CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT COMES NOW, Plaintiff, BOYD JOHNSON (“Mr. Johnson”) individually, and on behalf of others similarly situated, by and through the undersigned counsel, and sues WAL-MART STORES, INC. (“Walmart”), and as grounds thereof would allege as follows: INTRODUCTION 1. Mr. Johnson brings this class action individually and on behalf of all persons who have been injured while riding a bicycle assembled at a Walmart store. 2. Nearly 60 million Americans have been cycling in the past 12 months1. According to the National Bicycle Dealers Association, over 17 million bicycles and sales of over $6 billion were sold in the United States in 2014 and 2015, respectively2. Whereas consumers used to go to a specialty bike store to purchase a bicycle—that practice has been slowly disappearing over the past two decades. In 2001, there were 6,259 domestic specialty bicycle retail locations. By 2015, that number dropped nearly 40% to 3,7903 and accounted for only 13% of the U.S. bicycle market 1 https://www.statista.com/topics/1448/bicycle-industry-in-the-us/. 2 http://nbda.com/articles/industry-overview-2015-pg34.htm. 3 https://www.statista.com/statistics/215249/number-of-speciality-bicycle-retail-locations-in-the-us/. 1 | P a g e Rodal Law, P.A.

    TheCorporate ReckoningRenewal Opportunities in Times of Global Uncertainty 2008 Spring Conference March 27-29* *March26-27:TMACorporate GovernanceMeetings Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes Orlando, Florida The Reckoning n behalf of the 2008 TMA Spring Conference Committee, it is my pleasure to invite you to attend The Reckoning— Corporate Renewal Opportunities in Times of Global Uncertainty being held at the luxurious Ritz Carlton Grande OLakes in Orlando, Florida. The spreading concern about the integrity of global debt markets has demonstrated the fragility of modern finance and the widely dispersed risk inherent in newly devised structured financial products. As investment losses and insolvency risks infect in- ternational financial networks, experts are not debating the inevitability of bankruptcies from the fallout, but rather the extent of them. Whether this contagion will result in a recession is still to be seen; however, even if an official recession does not occur in the United States in 2008, the global economy will likely experience pockets of turmoil. The retreat to a new level of risk, though necessary, was never going to be orderly or free of casualties—or opportunities for corporate renewal professionals. Consistent with TMA’s mission to provide timely and relevant education to its members, The Reckoning will feature keynote Frank R. Mack, CTP speakers and expert panelists from North America and around the world discussing the forces driving the new economic Conway MacKenzie reality—residential homebuilding, mortgage lending, offshore hedge funds and Chapter 15s, private equity sponsors and health & Dunleavy care providers, as well as potential new matters such as structured investment vehicles, CLOs, CDOs, sovereign investment funds and municipal bankruptcies.
