An Alabama jury once awarded $7.5 million to a man who broke his hip buying a watermelon at Walmart.

Henry Walker walked into the Phoenix City Walmart in June 2015. He reached for a watermelon in a container sitting atop a pallet, unaware his foot had become lodged in the side opening of the pallet, according to one of Walker’s attorneys Shaun O'Hara.
