Last time it was a man suing his dry cleaners for $54,000,000 because they lost his pants. This time it's a woman suing Starburst because she dunno know how to chew.
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.
