A Virginia woman making her way to the restroom at an Outback Steakhouse slipped on a pile of wayward mashed potatoes and fell face-first onto the floor, sustaining “serious and permanent injuries” as a result, according to a federal lawsuit reviewed by The Independent.
Tracy J. Renshaw, 56, is now seeking $1.5 million from Outback, claiming the presence of the potatoes “created an unreasonably dangerous condition for visitors,” and that “[n]o warning had been posted of the presence of the slippery foreign substance on the floor.”
