Larry Page named in lawsuit by worker who was injured while painting his yacht

Google CEO Larry Page is being sued by a worker who sustained injuries while painting the executive’s yacht. When Page hired contractor HF Interior to remodel his boat, painter James Grupinski says he was forced to work 12-hour days without the proper tools or safety equipment.

The painter says he collapsed at one point after being subjected to toxic fumes from the paint he was given to use. He asked to be taken to the hospital, but his employer threatened to fire him and allegedly told him to “stop being a baby” and “drink some milk.”

How any of this ends up being Page’s fault is somewhat of a mystery, but it’s likely Grupinski is just hoping to make his payday a little bit bigger by roping the CEO into the mess. Grupinski is also suing several contractors, according to the report.
