It seems that the duties of a premises owner may be expanding rapidly. The Michigan Supreme Court recently held that a restaurant may have a duty to inspect things such as the toilet paper dispenser in a bathroom stall when employees do restroom checks, to make sure the dispenser is not in an unreasonably dangerous condition. Both the Wall Street Journal Law Blog and Above the Law have a field day with the facts in this case in which a woman injured her hand (and claims it is not yet healed so she cannot work, but can still bowl three years later) when the toilet paper dispenser landed on her hand in the bathroom stall. Given that the Court held that the dispenser might be considered unreasonably dangerous, it seems the manufacturers of toilet paper dispensers might also now be on notice of this potential hazard.
