The Dangers of Jewelry Shopping

According to reports in the Chicago Sun-Times, the lawsuit, which was filed earlier this week, contends that Meckler "while frantically attempting to escape from the squirrel and detach it from her leg, fell and suffered severe injuries."

The suit claims that the mall's parent company, Westfield Corp., "by and through its agents, employees, servants and security personnel, was aware of the longtime presence of the said squirrel on the premises and allowed the squirrel to remain on the premises, despite the fact that the squirrel had previously attacked and harassed other customers, a fact known to Westfield," reports the newspaper.
