PER CURIAM:

On April 13, 1979, the plaintiff, Peters, was shopping for fabric with a friend at a T.G. & Y. store in Pensacola, Florida. While waiting for service, Peters was wounded by a pair of scissors that a saleswoman had dislodged from the cutting table. The injury did not seem to be serious at first. Eventually, however, Peters experienced pain and swelling in her foot and calf. An examining physician diagnosed her condition as thrombophlebitis.
