In a curious twist of fate reminiscent of Mercury retrograde mishaps, Maria Torres embarked on a seemingly mundane grocery trip for bananas at a Portland, Oregon, Fred Meyer. Little did she know, the universe had other plans in store when she slipped on a rooftop leak, leading to a three-day hospital stay for a concussion. As employees scrambled with umbrellas and paper towels, one has to wonder—was this a cosmic sign to check the roof before shopping? After suing Kroger for $36 million, claiming the store’s negligence regarding a long-known roof issue, the case settled quietly just days into the trial. A concrete reminder that sometimes, even in the most innocuous settings, we must heed the warning of untamed rooftops—and perhaps, our stars. LEARN MORE.

Maria Torres was shopping for bananas at a Portland, Oregon Fred Meyer in October 2023 when she slipped backward on water leaking from the roof and slammed her head on the floor. Employees ran over with umbrellas and paper towels to shield her while the ceiling kept dripping, and she ended up hospitalized for three days with a concussion. She sued Kroger for $36 million, arguing the store knew about that decades-old roof leak, and the case settled for an undisclosed amount on the sixth day of trial. Fred Meyer installed catch pans after she fell.
