Hallmark Sued for House Fire Linked to Snow Globe
An insurance company is seeking $1.8 million from Hallmark Cards and another company over a defective snow globe blamed for a fire that destroyed a home in northern Michigan.
Auto-Owners Insurance paid $1.8 million after the home was destroyed. The Petoskey News-Review says the Hajeks own card stores and had snow globes in their garage.
The lawsuit filed Nov. 2 in federal court in Grand Rapids accuses Hallmark and a Taiwan company of negligence and product liability. A message seeking comment was left with Hallmark on Wednesday.
