1Opinion of the Court
HALL, Judge.
Plaintiff, Mrs. H. A. Harrington, slipped and fell when she stepped on glass from a broken bottle while shopping in defendant’s supermarket. Her arm was severely cut and she and her husband brought suit for damages against The Kroger Company. After trial, the district court held there was no negligence on the part of defendant or its employees in that the fall occurred immediately after breakage of the glass before the store employees had an opportunity to remedy the situation or warn plaintiff of the danger. From judgment in favor of defendant, plaintiffs appealed.
