"HOUSTON - After injuring one of his digits loading a cart with bags of garden soil at a hardware store near his residence, Montgomery County resident Ed Tchamanzar seeks damages.<br /><br />Tchamanzar filed a lawsuit against Home Depot U.S.A. Inc., Miracle-Gro Lawn Products Inc. and The Scotts Co. LLC in Montgomery County District Court on May 28.<br /><br />The Houston Division of the Southern District of Texas received the litigation on July 2.<br />Court papers explain that the plaintiff was shopping at The Home Depot in Conroe on June 11, 2011, when the alleged incident occurred.<br /><br />As Tchamanzar was putting bags of Miracle-Gro Garden Soil into his cart, according to the original petition, he \"unknowingly inserted his left middle finger into a pre-existing opening in a bag of the product.\"<br /><br />The complainant placed the heavy bag onto the cart, and the \"entire weight of the contents of the bag came to bear on his left middle finger,\" the suit says.<br /><br />\"Based on his observations, it appeared to Mr. Tchamanzar that the cut in the bag was created by partially removing the plastic shrink wrap covering the palletized product.\"<br /><br />Tchamanzar insists the subject event happened because The Home Depot provided no warning, adding the store \"has refused to accept any responsibility.\"<br /><br />He points out that Scotts and Miracle-Gro are deflecting blame as well.<br /><br />A jury trial is requested.<br /><br />Attorney Michael Howell of the Howell Law Firm in Houston is representing the complainant.<br /><br /><em>Case No. 4:13-CV-1936</em>"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
