Lawsuit Brings New Meaning to Bathroom Break
A New Jersey woman is suing a local sports bar and toilet seat manufacturer after her trip to the rest room was extended beyond her control. Kathleen Hewko claims she got stuck inside a toilet bowl for 20 minutes when the handicap toilet seat she was sitting on cracked and dumped her in the bowl.
Hewko, who had hip surgery several years ago, alleges that she reinjured her hip when the seat broke. Hewko’s attorney claims the incident is not her fault as the 130-140 pound woman is not obese.
Defendants Starters Sports Bar and Kohler Co. declined to comment.
