"Family Sues After Toddler Left Permanently Disabled by Gummy Candy"

A California family has filed a lawsuit against Hasbro after their toddler suffered severe and irreversible damage from choking on Candy Land Gummy Dots, leaving her permanently disabled with brain damage and spastic quadriplegia. The lawsuit alleges that the candy was unreasonably dangerous due to its extreme stickiness and lack of pliability, and that Hasbro failed to provide sufficient warning about the product's choking hazard. The family is seeking more than $50,000 in damages and is calling for the candies to be removed from shelves or for clear and accurate warnings to be placed on the product label.
