Hope v. Larry's Markets

For approximately seven months, Kira Hope was exposed to harsh chemical cleaners at her place of work, the deli department of a Larry’s Markets store. She continuously complained to store management that the chemicals were causing her rashes, but the store failed to take adequate measures to prevent her exposure to the chemicals. Hope sued Larry’s Markets, arguing that Larry’s deliberately injured her and that this deliberate injury constituted outrageous conduct. She appeals from a grant of summary judgment for Larry’s, and we reverse. Larry’s requests fees on appeal, which are denied.
