Imagine consuming a worm Do you realize that you've unintentionally eaten many insects before in your life? It's not that big of a deal tbh. The company won't give you millions of dollars. at most they'll give you a few coupons or refund the candy bar.On a different note, I remember back in the day I was eating apple cinnamon oatmeal and I found a worm crawling around in it. It was weird, but in the end I just took the worm out and ate the rest of my oatmeal cautiously. | ||

And yes I know everyone has unconsciously eaten some bugs before. Well some things cant be avoided, but when you happen to stumble on an incident like this why wouldn't you take action. | ||

Anyways, if you know a lawyer that will talk to you for free, I'd ask him. Some lawyers will see your case free of charge by the chance that they see some money to be made from it. And when I say some, i mean a few lol. everyone wants some money in today's economy. | ||

My thoughts 1. Monetary compensation or some form of restitution is most definitely in order 2. This is because the company fucked up majorly in their product's quality control (or lack thereof) 3. Due to the inferior quality of the product, your mother was in grief and this event could have been completely prevented if they had better health safety inspections 4. This may not just be an isolated case, but a batch of the nougat bars could potentially have been worm infested. This isn't just a "gross" issue, but it could be a serious health hazard and should be treated as such. 5. Don't let other people tell you otherwise, this is a big deal and you should be outraged as a citizen and consumer and should protect your rights to the full extent of the law 6. I would probably go in for a free 30 minute consultation with a law firm that specializes in this type of situation and follow their advice 7. If the firms dismiss your situation, then just contact them and threaten to go public on them ** In the meantime, document everything, time of discovery, product code and the barcode, pix of the worm, pix of the wrapper with no holes, so on and so forth ** GL | ||

There was probably an egg somewhere in the ingredients... Shit happens. As far as "we" know it was just 1 Worm in 1 Bar.. Nothing more. The worst thing that could have happened was someone eating the Worm... Big Deal... I hate people that sue for shit like this, they make this world worse. | ||
