Final Touch

Date of Death: October 1, 1985. Forklifts operating in a "working warehouse" store. A new retail marketing concept then, an accepted part of American shopping today. But the danger is real, "over thirty-thousand accidents" & a number of deaths say those with access to court records. Television & newspaper reports about "failing merchandise" accidents are becoming commonplace. "Few of the millions of shoppers who each day crowd into retail canyons of big discounters such as Home Depot & Wal-Mart expect to be crushed in an avalanche of merchandise," says the Los Angeles Times. "The incidents have been piling up for at least 15 years since boxes of Final Touch fabric softener toppled from a shelf at Sam's Club store in Tulsa, Oklahoma." Small-town trial lawyers called this case the "killing of Dolly Cain," & battled the corporate giant of customer clubs in a search for justice & healing. Dotson spent years pulling together family stores, personal memories & trial testimony into a poignant, courageous account of mother-loss & a family's triumph over unexpected tragedy. This story is painfully true. It provokes tears, laughter & thought in its readers. Will appeal to readers interested in mystery law, courtroom drama, grief & family relationships.Judith Cain Dotson is the author of 'Final Touch', published 2000 under ISBN 9780970577719 and ISBN 0970577710.
