I'm Thinking Settlement...

The SF Chronicle reports that jurors in a product defect suit against Wal-Mart were examining the bicycle wheel quick-release mechanism when the part broke.

Reportedly the Next bike by Dynacraft was straight out of the box and had never been ridden. Jurors had just begun their deliberations. Doubt they'll need to send out for dinner.

[Note: The article doesn't say so explicitly, but I assume the defendents supplied the sample bicycle.]
