A shopper has threatened to sue a supermarket after claiming she was hit on the head by a flying loaf.

June Burns says her new glasses were knocked off by the Warburtons farmhouse bread, which fell from the top shelf while she was browsing.

The married mum of two asked Morrisons to pay compensation for damage caused to the spectacles but was angered when they denied liability.

The 58-year-old said the frame was cracked and a lens was scratched during the incident, which happened at a branch in Paisley.

She said: “The loaf hit me on the head, knocked my glasses off my face and they fell to the ground.

“Later on that day, I noticed they were scratched on the lens and broken near the frame.”

June, of Inchinnan, Renfrewshire, approached the store a few days later to complain and the manager asked her to get an estimate for the cost of the damage.

Her optician provided a letter saying the bill to replace the glasses would be £148.

The manager of the town’s Anchor Mills store then advised her to make a claim in writing.

June received a letter from Morrisons last month which said they had investigated and could not be held responsible.

A Morrisons spokesman added: “We checked the way the products were stacked and we could not find anything at fault.Because of this, we believe this accident was beyond our control.”

June, an admin worker with a refrigeration company, said: “I feel I have been dealt with unfairly. My glasses were only about six months old.

“I’m not asking for tens of thousands of pounds – just payment for the damage which was caused.”
