A federal judge has thrown out a lawsuit by a woman who claims she was attacked by a bird at a Lowe’s store in Fairview Heights.
Rhonda Nichols of Centreville claimed that Lowe’s Cos., the nation’s second-largest home improvement retailer, should have warned her of the birds.
But U.S. District Judge William Stiehl ruled Tuesday that a “reasonable plaintiff” either would have noticed the birds or understood that contact with them was possible in any outdoor area with plants.
