MARTHA STEWART - STEWART SETTLES 'FAULTY FURNITURE' DISPUTE

STEWART SETTLES 'FAULTY FURNITURE' DISPUTE

Lifestyle guru MARTHA STEWART has settled a lawsuit with a hand model over an accident with a faulty patio chair from her furniture line.
The domestic queen was sued by model/magician Patrick Albanese, who alleged the top of his index finger was chopped off after he caught it in the frame of the chair.
Doctors managed to reattach Albanese's fingertip, but he filed suit alleging he has failed to fully recover from the injury and has lost earnings as a result.
However, Albanese's attorney Guy Cook tells the National Enquirer Stewart has now settled the dispute with a pay off "to his satisfaction", although details of the deal have not been released to the public.
