Woman Suing Over Starburst Candy Injury

Plaintiff Says Candy Caused Teeth To Stick Together

POSTED: 8:17 am EDT June 28, 2007

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.
