Pennsylvania woman who lives next to chocolate factory that exploded last week files lawsuit accusing the company of negligence.
March 29, 2023, 4:19 PMFire crews respond to the RM Palmer Chocolate factory in West Reading, Pennsylvania, March 24, 2023.A Pennsylvania woman who lives next to a chocolate factory that exploded Friday has filed a lawsuit accusing the company of negligence that led to the fatal explosion.
Wright alleged she suffered "a significant wage loss" and impairment to earning capacity or potential, according to the lawsuit. She also said she lost access to her apartment and belongings. "Proper maintenance, monitoring, inspection and/or testing by [R. M. Palmer] would have revealed the existence of the potential explosive condition," the lawsuit says.
"In the initial incident report from Berks County to PEMA, a reference to a gas leak was included. It is really important to note that incident reports from counties are a snapshot in time of the understanding of the incident at the time the report was made," Ruth A. Miller, Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency's communications director, said in a statement last week.WPVI
