Legal Question in Product Liability in Pennsylvania
found worm in food
In the office we have a basket with candy with minuature chocolate that we have for sweet sancks. Today I took a piece of chocolate opened it only to find found a worm in the candy. I did not eat it; but wrapped it back up as I would like to know what my recourse is. It appears the candy may have been purchased like this and it is bad.

Re: found worm in food
You asked about a worm found in candy.
My first question is did you put the candy back to see the reaction on the next person's face?
Seriously, there is no claim here. If you had bitten into the candy and then discovered it you may have had a claim. Like the old joke, What's worse than taking a bite of an apple and finding a worm? Taking a bite of an apple and finding half of a worm.
No injury no foundation for recovery.

Roger
