Do I have a case against a shop for selling me an unsanitary food item? 1 Answers as of January 25, 2012

I was on vacation in Pigeon forge tenn. I went to a fudge shop and purchased an item. I got back to the hotel unwrapped the item and ate 3/4 of it. The item had bugs in and out of it. I contacted the health inspector for the area. He went there and found bugs inside the item on display and in a pecan bin in the back of the store. The health inspector called me back and told me everything he found.

The shop would be liable for any damages you suffered. Generally, juries do not award much for this type of case, and it is probably not worth pursuing in court.
