19 hospitalized in Walmart bleach fight

A desire to live a clean life went horribly awry in the bleach and disinfectant aisle of a Maryland Walmart this weekend.

This farm animal wisely walked past the aisle containing chemicals and furious shoppers.

This farm animal wisely walked past the aisle containing chemicals and furious shoppers.

Nineteen people received medical treatment at hospitals, including three store employees, after two women got into an argument and began slinging toxic liquids. One person sustained a serious eye injury.

The store in Baltimore County had to be evacuated Saturday due to toxic fumes, ABC News reports.

Facing charges of first-degree assault, second-degree assault, theft under $100 and malicious destruction of property is Theresa Monique Jefferson, 33. I assume the theft charge comes from wasting gallons of Clorox Stain Fighter With Color Booster.

She’s being held on a whopping $350,000 bond.

The Associated Press reports Jefferson followed her victim — a woman who is currently the girlfriend of the father of Jefferson’s child — into the store and initiated the attack.

Walmart, in a press release, said it can’t believe people that shop in their stores would act this way.

PR cleanup on aisle 5!

My friend saw a chicken in the Richmond Virginia Walmart recently. Even farm animals like low prices everyday.

Oh No, That’s all we need. Bleach slinging in the aisles. I guess that will lead to another stupid tv variety show.

Just another day at Walmart!
