1996 -- In June in Vacaville, Calif., after his brother had spilled glue on the floor while repairing a piggy bank, 7-year-old Joshua Bernardo stepped in it barefoot and became stuck to the floor for several hours, until firefighters loosened the glue with vegetable oil

1996 -- Customer Jerry Merich filed a lawsuit against the Starbucks Corp. in July over a 1995 injury in which a Starbucks employee in the company's Littleton, Colo., shop greeted him with a "high five" slap of the hand and caused a shoulder injury which left Merich unable to work for six months.

1997 -- The New York Times reported in November on the project by the Picatinny Arsenal in Rockaway Township, N.Y., to create more environmentally friendly bullets while still maintaining the bullets' killing power. (Three years ago, the federal government closed a nearby firing range because spent, leaded bullets were contaminating the soil so as to endanger people and animals.)

1997 -- Police in Allentown, Pa., discovered in September that a man who was recently arrested at the bus station with 280 small bags of heroin in his luggage had chewed off the skin of seven fingertips after being jailed.
