Wal-Mart Flip-Flops Induce Rash

A Texas woman named Taylor Vanover has discovered the high cost of low prices. A one-dollar pair of flip-flops have induced a rash bad enough that she went to Emergency with it. Others are reporting the same symptoms.

The country of origin? China, of course. Storm management at the Gun Barrel City Wal-Mart (it's Texas: that's the place's real name) advised her to... get this... contact the manufacturer.

Good thing they didn't tell her to contact "the responsible party." I looked: there's no phone number listed for "huge conscienceless corporate greed."

UPDATE: Latest news HERE!
