bugs in candy!

I would like to know the extent to which I can hold a company or companies financially responsible for my having ingested bug larva that were in a box of candy? Would I have a viable lawsuit? There was no personal physical injury, though I am going to my doctor tomorrow to see if what was in the box can make me sick. But,I have been quite nauseated since the event.

Car repair mess up

We had a new motor put in our Ford pickup on June 11, 2008 by a Ford dealership in Rock Springs, WY. 2 months and approx. 6000 miles later the transmission started pouring trans. fluid while we were on our way to IA. We took it to another Ford dealership in Ft. Dodge IA where they found that the transmission only had 1 bolt holding it when there should have been 10. The loose condition caused the trans. seal to go out and cost us $1100. The WY dealership takes no responsibility even though the IA dealership said that the tech could not have tightened the transmission the way it should have been when the motor was replaced. Do we have a case against the WY dealership? We contacted Ford and they said they could not do anything, that the dealership would have to be dealt with.

Car purchase

I bought a 2009 Toyota Corrolla last evening. This morning I took it on the highway and put the rear windows down and my ears nearly exploded with the pressure change. The cabin of the car shook violently and the rear view mirror vibrated intensely. I toof the car back to the dealer and the salesman agreed to ride with me toexperience it. The salesman was startled at the pressure chanmge and vibrations, but after talking with ''the other salesmen'' told me that all small air tight cars do that. I told him this was unacceptable and he said he would talk toi his general manager. I then went to the Honda dealer and test drove a new Civic. It certainly did not make nearly the pressure change or vibrations that the Corrolla did. I do not want this car and I wonder if there is anything I can do or say to the sevice manager whom I will be speaking with on Monday, to get out of this deal. The pressure and vibrations in the cabin of the car are frightening and I fear that I can get ear damage. Also, it is just not acceptable to be to have to tolerate that from a new car.....Please help.

Company Property

We recently found out that one of our employees began working at another job while still employed with us. We terminated him and asked him to send us back the company Laptop computer. I stated that he was not to uninstall or remove anything. He removed all the programs and the operating system is not working well. It will require me taking it to an expert to reinstall the operating system and software. Can I sue him in Small Claims court for the cost of having someone do this for me? What are my chances of winning this case.

Internet Fraud

I recently used an internet B2B website called Alibaba. They have a system in place on their website in which the sellers of products pay a subscription fee to Alibaba in order to obtain a ''trustpass'' profile. Alibaba maintains that this trustpass is meant to provide transparency-- in essence to certify that the company is a legitimate business entity. I contracted with one of these sellers with a trustpass profile and performed my due diligence in checking them out. I sent them a sum of money for test products and never heard from them again once they received the funds. Unfortunately I did not use a credit card so I was unable to file a dispute. I contacted Alibaba about this and they said they could not take any action unless I filed a lawsuit against this individual and won. They are based out of Pakistan, making this nearly impossible.

I would like to sue Alibaba as I relied upon their certification of this company as legitimate. Furthermore, they have done nothing to investigate my claim or remove the fraudster from their site. In my opinion, they are complicit in the fraud that is taking place. I have since learned that there are many people with similar stories. How should I proceed?

small claims

My husband and I recently purchased a used log splitter. When we read the seller's ad on ebay, it said that it ''ran flawlessly'', also the seller mentioned that he purchased it last year for $1500.00.

The asking price for the machine was $900.00. We called the seller and asked him if we cuold buy it outright without bidding on it. He said that would be fine, and since he lived in the same state as us, we went and picked it up the next day. When we arrived at his house, he turned the machine on, and pushed the lever forward and then pulled it back to simulate the motion of splitting an actual log (we did not see the splitter actually split a real log). He said that he was using the machine last year and that it ran great. When my husband tried to split a log the following night, it would not split the wood. Whenever we applied pressure to the wood the machine would stall and shut down. If we took this claim to small claims court...what are our chances of winning?

thanks.

Stolen Jet Ski

Last summer I was riding a friends jet ski on a lake when I accidently hit something in the water that caused some damage. I came back and told my friend and offered to pay for the repair. He took it to a shop and they estimated the damage at appr. 4,000. My fried offered to pay half. I asked him to get othere estimates. I found a shop from the Yellow pages and they estimated the repair at 1,300. My friend opted for the least expensive. I told him to cntact me when it is done. He just called me after about 10 months claiming that the reapair shop stole his jetski. The police is now involved. My friend is implying that it is my fault. Am I liable for anything?

Dog Dies- Money Back?

I live in Dallas, Texas and on April 24th purchased a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel puppy from a breeder in Pierce City, Missouri. She became ill just two days after bringing her home and died Monday April 30th. I took the puppy to the Vet and ran a number of test to find out what was wrong with the puppy. Everything came back negative, and the puppy died. I did not take the puppy back to the vet to figure out what caused the death (we had already spent $200 trying to fix her), we buried the puppy in our back yard. My question to you is, am I entitled to my money back? I did not sign a contract with the breeder but the posting for the puppy said it came with a certificate of health, current vaccinations, & vaccine/worming records.

My rims

I bought some wheels for my truck and with in a month the chrome began to peel. The one yr warranty that comes with the rims states replacement as the only option. They told me they would give me 1/2 my money back for the rims. This is not acceptable. Is there a way for me to get all of my money back?

Breaking terms of a verbal agreement?

My husband sold a new snow blower to someone, who at the time of purchase, told my husband that he was going to look a snow blower some other guy was selling and only if the other was significantly better than the one we were selling, would he be able to return it? The buyer said he'd call by Thurs to let us know. The buyer paid cash and left with the merchandise. The following Saturday (two days after said Thurs), he called and said he wanted to return the snow blower because the other guy dropped his price by $500, also that - while he could make it fit - the one he bought from us was 4'' too short for his tractor.

My husband stewed about this and became more and more annoyed by the fact that the guy a) didn't call by said time and b) wanted to return the snow blower for reasons other than discussed, so he told him he wouldn't take it back and the guy said we'd 'hear from his lawyers.'

Would he have a leg to stand on in court? Are verbal agreements legally binding? Could this turn into a �he said, she said� battle?

Any advice/input would be appreciated.

product Liability

My mother -in-law was killed when her pressure cooker exploded(the top blew off striking her in chest) causing her death by blunt force trauma. When the haz-mat people cleaned up all of the blood from the accident they could not find the pressure relief from the top of the pressure cooker. I requestede that they keep all parts to the cooker they found but evidently they discarded the gasket to the cooker.

do we have a case for product liability. The stove the cooker was on was severly damaged do we need to retain the stove or any other thing to help our case? I have the top of the cooker and the 12 quart bottom of the cooker.

Defective product

I bought a eyelash curler-LaCross brand Sally Hansen and it was defective as it pulled out several eyelashes to the point I have a gap in the middle. I compared my old one after it happened and notice the new one doesn't close properly against the rubber. Do I have any recourse? This is very embarrassing and research shows it may take 6 months to grow back.
