In slip and fall cases, evidence of a foreign substance on the floor suggests some degree of negligence. I would need to know more exact information about this case including the placement of different products, any signs or warnings, and other factors regarding how items were stored. With more details I would feel confident in providing a more thorough assessment of the accident and its causes.
