The case, filed on December 28, claims that a toddler from California choked on sticky candy, causing significant brain damage and loss of function in all four limbs.
The child’s parents, Francisco Paredes Rivera and Maria Aylin Sotelo Comacho, filed a lawsuit against Hasbro, the toy business, and the Frankford Candy & Chocolate business. The family lives in La Quinta, California, in the Coachella Valley.
According to the claim, three-year-old Amelie Paredes The child allegedly suffered brain damage before a Candy Land gummy dot blocked her airway to the point where medical personnel struggled to remove the candy, leaving her paraplegic.
The victim’s parents, Francisco Paredes Rivera and Maria Aylin Sotelo Camacho, are shown in an image taken on December 13, 2022, by the family’s Ring doorbell camera, using several strategies to get the candy off their daughter, the site reports. It is said that Sotelo’s brain damage from becoming oxygen-free left her with spastic quadriplegia. The young girl needs to be fed through a permanent gastronomy tube because it is said that she is unable to manage the majority of her body’s functions.
The candy was created “in a manner that results in inordinate propensity to adhere to the tissue of the palate, oropharynx, throat, hypopharynx, trachea, and/or esophagus,” according to the lawsuit filed against the companies.
The attorney Thomas Bosworth, representing the family in their lawsuit, said, “These candies were a ticking time bomb. We will pursue justice for this innocent little girl who was once a vibrant and thriving child but is now permanently disabled, unable to speak, unable to swallow, and unable to move for the rest of her life.” “It is shocking that this level of brain damage is caused by just one single piece of this dangerous gel candy.”
