Wal-Mart Is Target Of Criminal Probe
Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. is the target of yet another criminal probe for their methods of disposing hazardous waste.
From the AP:
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. is the target of a criminal investigation over how it handled merchandise that is classified as hazardous waste, the company announced Tuesday.
The world’s largest retailer said in a regulatory filing that the investigation centers on the company’s transport of hazardous materials from stores in California to a return center in Las Vegas. The company said its practice is to move hazardous materials to return centers, then take the materials to sites approved for hazardous waste disposal.
I guess I am not surprised given that Wal-Mart feels that they can do whatever they want, to whomever they want. Here's a great example.
