In the interest of equitable justice, Walmart should identify and interplead as third party defendents the refiner, jobber and marketer of the gasoline for placing such a dangerous product into commerce.
who would pour gasoline on an active fire from a gas can?? really?? there should be a law put into effect stating “stupid people doing stupid things receive no money” – how do you determine who is a stupid person doing stupid things – put the photo of a guy pouring gasoline over an active fire from a gas can
