Woman Sues Starburst For Being Too Chewy..

[Bear Grylls]

Starburst Fruit Chews are exactly as their name would indicate: chewy. But one Boston-area woman says the candies are so chewy, they should come with a warning label.

Victoria McArthur, of Romero, Mich., is suing Starbursts' parent company, Mars Inc., for more than $25,000 for "permanent personal injuries" she claims she sustained after biting into one of their yellow candy in 2005.

"I don't know, maybe about 3 chews and it literally locked my jaw … and it just literally pulled my jaw out of joint," she told MyFoxDetroit.com.


McArthur's lawyer, Brian Muawad, says the candies caused her to develop a condition known as temporal mandibular joint dysfunction. McArthur says she has had trouble chewing, talking and sleeping since the incident.

Muawad says McArthur offered to negotiate a settlement with Starburst's insurer to pay for her rehabilitation, but the company said no way. A spokesman for Mars refused to comment.


McArthur says she just does wants to make sure nobody else meets the same end she did when she decided to indulging her sweetooth.

"I don't want to see anybody else have to go through what I have gone through from eating a piece of candy that was supposed to be soft chew," she said.

Anytime an attorney brings a case this frivolous to court, he should have one finger chopped off.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This stupid bitch should get life in prison for even going forward with this, and the lawyer should be tarred, feathered, and dis-barred.

[Fillmoe]

That is not mouse.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Sounds similar to my lawsuit against Gatorade. I've probably purchased a thousand bottles over the years and still haven't heard that the company has used one dime of that revenue to help any alligators. False advertising like that has caused me undue emotional stress. I'm still waiting to hear back from my attorney.
