Woman Slipped On Brussels Sprouts At Wyckoff ShopRite, Became Disabled, Lawsuit Says

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — A Ringwood woman is suing a Wyckoff supermarket, saying she slipped on brussels sprouts there in 2023 and became disabled, according to a suit filed in January.

Linda Swedin says that on Dec. 28 of that year, she was walking in the produce aisle of ShopRite when she slipped and fell on the sprouts, which were on the floor.

The suit says the supermarket had a responsibility for upkeep and maintenance.

The suit, filed Jan. 29 in Superior Court in Bergen County, said Swedin suffered pain, shock, and mental anguish, and is incapacitated and permanently disabled after the fall.

It also says she has had to spend "substantial sums of money" for treatment.

She's suing Inserra Supermarkets, the owner of ShopRite of Wyckoff, for damages, interest, and legal fees.

She's being represented by J. Sean Connelly of Ridgewood.
