A woman is suing for $25,000, claiming a Starburst Fruit Chew candy pulled her jaw out of joint. This news comes on the heels of the $65 million lawsuit against a dry cleaner for a suit and the $2,000 lawsuit for a pair of torn pants. Do you think the name “Fruit Chew” is insufficient and a warning label on the harmful risks of the candy’s chewiness is needed? What about other warnings, like blowing bubbles with bubble gum can cause gum to be cut out of hair?
