HOUSTON – An employee of a Houston Asian food market alleges an unsafe work environment caused him to fall and injure his back and legs.
Danh Van Thanh Vu filed a complaint on Feb. 6 in the Harris County District Court against US Viet Hoa Food Corp., doing business as Viet Hoa International Foods, alleging negligence.
According to the complaint, the plaintiff alleges that on Sept. 25, 2017, he was working for the defendant and was restocking shelves when he fell and sustained injuries to his back and legs.
