Residents and retailers of NJ and NYC and elsewhere, may be interested to know that according to the Boston Herald a federal judge cleared Bob’s Discount Furniture of any negligence in a lawsuit brought by a family who claimed the furniture store was responsible for bringing a bed bugs infestation to their home. This should indicate to residents of NJ, NYC, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Queens and even Manhattan that it can be difficult to prove to a judge where a bed bug infestation actually came from.

The plaintiffs claimed a white maple bedroom set they purchased from Bob’s Discount Furniture came to their home infested with bed bugs. The plaintiffs claimed the family had to sleep on the kitchen floor. It seems that bed bugs can find people sleeping on kitchen floors and not just find their victims in beds.

The judge determined that strong evidence was not provided which indicated the bed bugs came in the frame instead of finding their way into the frame from another source in the house. That makes sense. This might be an important case for retailers in NJ, NYC and other parts of the country.

If you have NJ, NYC, Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens or Brooklyn bed bugs ask a NJ, NYC bed bugs pest control company to eliminate the odious insects.
