HAGERSTOWN, Md. – The parents of a 13-year-old girl are suing Wal-Mart for selling CDs by the rock group Evanescence that apparently contain the F-word.
Wal-Mart says it had no way of knowing the dirty word was on the CD “Anywhere But Home” because the maker didn’t put a parental warning label on it.
But the suit by Trevin Skeens says Wal-Mart knew about the lyrics in the song “Thoughtless,” because it censored the word in a free sample on its Web site. advertisement The suit asks damages of about $75,000 for each of the thousands of people who bought the CD at Wal-Marts in Maryland. The suit also names Wind-Up Records and distributor BMG Entertainment.
Wal-Mart says it has no immediate plans to pull the CDs.
