Woman awarded €56k after scalding by hot water poured into glass Dunnes Stores jug

Eva Cekanova had sued Dunnes Stores over the accident with the jug which she bought at the Blanchardstown Shopping Centre, Dublin on December 5, 2015.

A woman who was scalded when a glass jug she bought in Dunnes Stores exploded after she poured hot water from a kettle into it has been awarded over €56,000 by the High Court.

The jug, Mr Justice Kevin Cross found, did not have a label warning against using it for hot liquids and he accepted Eva Cekanova would not have purchased it if it had the label.
