Lawsuit claims Dollar Tree failed to rescue mom of two trapped in freezer
A Florida anesthesiologist and mother of two was found dead inside a walk-in freezer at a Miami Dollar Tree (968 SW 8th St., Little Havana) on December 14. Her family has filed a $50 million lawsuit alleging the store failed to maintain the freezer and protect patrons, including accusing the store manager of instructing an employee not to review surveillance footage or take action to locate the missing woman, and alleging defective safety mechanisms and improper closing procedures contributed to her death.
