NEW ORLEANS - A Target customer has filed a lawsuit that accuses the retail store of failing to warn of the possible dangers associated with boxes falling.
Jan Mella Monnerjahn filed suit against the Target Corp. on Aug. 19, 2011 in St. Tammany Parish District Court. The defendant removed the case to federal court in New Orleans on Jan. 12.

Monnerjahn is represented by Metairie attorney Stephen C. Juan and Kenner attorney Frank Brindisi.
