A Cobb County jury returned a $750,000 verdict this month this month against Kroger Co. for a woman who slipped on pineapple ice cream topping near the freezer section of a Mableton grocery store, but reduced the award by 35 percent due to the negligence of the unnamed customer who dropped the jar.
