Alice Davis had been hospitalized for 21 days at General Hospital in Louisiana for a recurring bout of  congestive heart failure. On the morning of October 20, 2020, she was finally being discharged from the  hospital. Olivia Orderly, a long-time employee of the hospital had been assigned to bring Alice down from  her hospital room to the lobby by pushing Alice in a wheelchair. The wheelchair had been manufactured
by Big Wheel Chair Co.  As Olivia and Alice approached the lobby, Alice's husband and her three children excitedly waited. When  the Davis family saw Alice they attempted to run down the hall to meet her, but were stopped by Safety

which caused the front wheel to break from the frame, throwing Alice to the floor, and the impact caused  Alice's shoulder to separate. The broken wheel struck Olivia, causing her to fall, breaking her leg.
