  • Walmart Faces Class Action Over Inhaling of Dust Spray
    CASE 0:20-cv-01473-NEB-TNL Document 1 Filed 06/26/20 Page 1 of 75 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA Natalie A. Chairez and Samantha G. Chairez, Case No. ______________ Plaintiffs, COMPLAINT AND DEMAND vs. FOR JURY TRIAL AW Distributing, Inc., Walmart Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Wal-Mart Stores East, LP, Wal- Mart Stores East, LLC, and John Doe Company Defendants #1–10, Defendants. COME NOW, Plaintiffs, who for their causes of action against Defendants, state and allege: INTRODUCTION 1. Inhalant abuse has been known and prevalent in the United States for decades. Many common household products are used to get high because they are cheap and easily accessible, such as aerosols, glue, cleaning fluids, and gasoline, as examples. 2. One type of inhalant that people commonly abuse to get high is computer dust remover sprays. These products are compressed gas in a can that are used to spray off dust and debris from whatever surface is being cleaned. However, they contain a gas—difluoroethane—that, if inhaled, causes the person to lose consciousness and control of the bodily movements nearly immediately. CASE 0:20-cv-01473-NEB-TNL Document 1 Filed 06/26/20 Page 2 of 75 3. These dust removers are cheap and available at retail locations throughout the United States, meaning anyone with a few dollars can purchase the product to get high. Dust removers are popular among inhalant abusers, so much so that the companies who design, manufacture, distribute, and sell these products profit greatly as a result. Manufacturers, distributors, and sellers of dust removers— such as AW Distributing, Inc., Walmart Inc., Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., Wal-Mart Stores East, LP, and Wal-Mart Stores East, LLC (collectively “Defendants”)—know that people inhale their dust removers to get high.

  • Target Corporation: Planting the Seed of Social Media an Analysis of Target Corporation and the Use of Corporate Blogging As a Vital Tool in Corporate Strategy
    Target Corporation: Planting the Seed of Social Media An Analysis of Target Corporation and the Use of Corporate Blogging as a Vital Tool in Corporate Strategy Prepared by Lola Adeyemo For Prof. Richard Linowes Business, Policy and Strategy May 1, 2008 Spring 2008 Executive Summary The Target Brand has had a longstanding history with being an industry leader and a top performer. With one of the most recognized logos in the world, beating out both Apple and McDonalds for the coveted position with brand recognition at 96%1, the company has enjoyed a history of innovation and financial success. Its humble beginnings started in 1902, when George Drayton opened the first store in Minneapolis, Minnesota under the name, Drayton Dry Goods, Co. Today, the company among the top five largest retailers in North America, among the likes of Wal-Mart, Costco, Home Depot and Kroger. It is ranked number 31 on the list of Fortune 500 companies and continually ranks as one of the best places to work in America. Target’s corporate strategy is one that has changed little over the years: to provide high-quality, stylishly designed items plus all the essentials for life, displayed in a clean, organized and welcoming environment; The one-of-a-kind experience comes that comes from our department store roots and ongoing commitment to great prices and stylish innovations.” The timelessness of that strategy has allowed the company to continually strive for excellence, both internally and externally, and to become a favored retailer among a range of demographics- from the chic teen to college aged student, to the hard-working CEO and mother of two.
