The Canadian Press reports today that a B.C. woman has filed suit after being bitten by a spider while perusing the goods at a grocery store.

The woman, one Jessica Rocha De Mori, claims that two years ago, she was picking through produce at the T & T Supermarket (great store, by the way) in Surrey B.C. when she was viciously attacked by an eight-legged monster. She is seeking damages for injury that she suffered (a severe allergic reaction) as well expenses and economic losses.

The plaintiff’s statement of claim alleges that T & T Supermarket was negligent in not preventing spiders from turning up in the produce, or in the alternative, for not posting a warning sign extolling the dangers of the fruit section.

If this thing isn’t statute-barred for being outside the limitation period, I hope it fails for remoteness. If not, expect to see warning signs cropping up at grocery stores to let us know that the fruit aisle might contain:

spiders, dead flies, fruit, asbestos, little green monsters, sharp pointy things, and any other of the infinite possible things that pose a threat to our health which the supermarket can scarcely do anything about.
