She wanted to save her memories, not trash them.
A Manhattan woman who sought to preserve VHS recordings of her wedding and the days after the births of two of her kids instead lost the irreplaceable tapes when the convenience store she trusted to turn them into DVDs threw them away, she charges in a lawsuit.
Concepcion Pelina Lueken claims the West 20th Street Duane Reade promised to convert the recordings for $139 in September 2016, but a week later, wasn’t able to find the tapes. When she complained, the store offered only a $100 gift card to make up for the loss, she charged in a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit.
It’s not the first time the chain, owned by Walgreens, has lost people’s VHS tapes. Similar lawsuits have been filed against Walgreens in Chicago and Florida.
Lueken is seeking unspecified damages.
