Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Arthritis / July 2007TMJD news -- Woman sues Mars Candy Company - Starburst Caused Teeth To Stick Together
Woman Suing Over Starburst Candy Injury Plaintiff Says Candy Caused Teeth To Stick Together Thursday, June 28, 2007 0517PDT BOSTON -- A Michigan woman is claiming that a sweet snack turned into her worst nightmare, and now she's suing a well-known candy company. Victoria McArthur said she misaligned her jaw while eating Starburst candies. She said a piece of the candy caused her top and bottom teeth to stick together, resulting in a condition called "temporal mandibular joint dysfunction." McArthur is seeking $25,000 from the Mars Corp. to pay for her rehabilitation, plus compensation for her pain and suffering. There has been no comment from the company on the lawsuit Gosh, I guess I should have sued when I cracked a tooth on a piece of hard candy and had to pay big $$$ for a crown. Some folks are litigation crazy and will sue "just because they can". Are they being aided and abetted by the legal system? You bet they are! Ann i had tmj dysfunction during thanksgiving dinner--couldn't close my mouth. should have sued my mama. diane i had tmj dysfunction during thanksgiving dinner--couldn't close my mouth. should have sued my mama. diane LOL! If your mama was like my mama she would have told you to leave the table if you were going to just sit there and complain instead of eating. LOL Ann My mom should sue Popcorn Makers...LOL she has broken teeth, sucked popcorn down her throat and almost choked to death...She doesn't eat popcorn alone anymore...
