If a refrigerator falls on you, you and/or your family can and should sue Home Depot - that would truly be negligence on their part. And hopefully, you own enough life and disability income insurance.
The Senate voted today 76-24 in favor of limiting class action lawsuits to federal courts - rather than state courts. The Home Depot example you cite would certainly not be a class action lawsuit nor is it affected by this legislation.
