A Langley family is suing a Surrey topsoil company for more than $80,000 after the firm provided dirt that allegedly contained rocks, glass, and condoms.

Jason Fan and his mother, Hui Lan Gao, bought 208 cubic yards of lawn soil for $3,261.44 from Super Soil Ltd. in May 2020.

The soil was to be placed on top of the grass on Fan’s 22,500 square foot property in South Brookswood.
