A federal judge denied Frito-Lay’s attempts to dismiss claims accusing the company of negligence after a woman tripped and fell over pallets of products in an Illinois grocery store.

Mary Ellen Campos’s claims for negligence and negligent supervision and training are moving forward against Rolling Frito-Lay Sales, after U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman for the Northern District of Illinois rejected the defendant’s motion for summary judgment. The court determined that questions of fact remained regarding whose responsibility it was to move an empty pallet guard that Campos allegedly tripped over at a Jewel-Osco grocery store. It also determined Frito-Lay could owe a duty to Campos separately from the grocery store, which is operated by New Albertsons.
