A jury found the operator of a store was not to blame for a heavy box falling on a customer’s foot.
On Aug. 12, 2015, Anil Mistry, then in his 40s, went to a Floor & Decor Outlets of America Inc. store in Boynton Beach to pick up a box of slate tiles.

Minstry claimed store employees and customers often used the plastic banding as handles but the store failed to warn customers against the dangerous practice.
