PITTSBURGH – Pepsi denies all responsibility for injuries suffered by a Western Pennsylvania man, who claims that a company employee collided into him while pushing a cart full of products in a Getgo supermarket in Pittsburgh, leading him to fall and become seriously injured.
Michael Connolly of Oakmont first filed suit in the Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas on Dec. 9 versus Giant Eagle, Inc. (doing business as “Getgo”) and Chad Fink of Pittsburgh, plus Pepsi Co., Inc. of Purchase, N.Y.
“On June 11, 2020, at approximately 11:30 a.m., plaintiff was a business invitee, licensee and/or otherwise legally on defendants’ premises. While on defendants’ premises of the Getgo, the plaintiff was struck by a Pepsi Co., Inc. employee pushing a dolly cart of products, located near the entrance/exit. The contact caused plaintiff to fall to the ground, causing serious and permanent personal injuries,” the suit stated.
