What are the safety standards at large retailers and grocery stores, and were they followed in this case?

In slip and fall cases, evidence of a foreign substance on the floor suggests some degree of negligence. I would need to know more exact information about this case including the placement of different products, any signs or warnings, and other factors regarding how items were stored.
