Wal Mart flip flops cause nasty chemical burn
Kerry bought some flip flops for $2.44 at Wal Mart. After wearing them for a while, she noticed a tingling sensation on her feet. She immediately stopped wearing the flip flops. Soon after, her skin turned red and blistery.
When she took the matter up with Wal Mart, they told her to take it up with the Chinese manufacturer.
As you now know, there's a BIGGGGG difference. Wal Mart has the cheapest of the cheap shit (most now made in China despite Walmarts roots in "Made in the USA").
Don't get me started on the damage this shit corporation does to communities and the US as a whole.
