Superstores and smaller shops have a responsibility to ensure items of stock and products are stacked correctly, so they do not cause a hazard to customers, staff, delivery drivers or any visiting member of the public to the premises.

It is very easy for stock items or baskets and trolleys to fall if incorrectly stacked, potentially causing an injury to someone.

On visiting a B & Q store as a customer a lady was injured when the trolleys were incorrectly stacked, with the front trolley handle propping up the rest of the trolleys behind them. This was not noticed at the time when the front trolley was taken in order to do the shopping. As a result, the trolleys fell onto the lady causing injuries.

The trolley accident was reported to B&Q and logged in an accident book. The lady needed medical attention and the injuries are ongoing several weeks after the accident.

The lady wished to make a claim for injury compensation, which is now being handled on a no win no fee basis by a personal injury specialist solicitor.
