About it. I found it a few days later I had put it in my jewery box I had 2 in there so I grabbed the wrong one and used it not realizing it till they fired my do I have a case or not? It was just an honest mistake I made

Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania or Federal law apply, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, Pennsylvania is a jurisdiction that applies the employment �at-will� policy. This means that an employee can terminate his/her employment for any reason or no reason at all. However, it also means that an employer can terminate an employee�s employment for any reason or for no reason at all. In your situation, unless you have a contract stating otherwise or have provided your employer with some form of additional hardship in accepting your employment, than you are employed at will.
