70. Death Trap Depot is the worst

Home Depot, never mind being red, is one of the worst corporate criminals in the country. They have a horrendous record of accidents in their stories, causing injuries and deaths to customers and workers. And they've apparently decided to factor the cost of settling lawsuits into their bottom line, rather than spend money on fixing safety hazards.

Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Mike Papantonio did a segment on this on "Ring of Fire" radio a few months back (I can't find the exact reference).

The Atlanta Business Chronicle did a good series of exposes about Home Depot in 2003 -
