Falmouth, ME asked in Personal Injury and Products Liability for Maine

Q: Who should I contact about finding a safety pin inside a piece of dove chocolate and is this a case for a lawyer ?

I contacted the company and was pretty much blown off my kid or any child could have swelled it and caused damage fortunately it was myself getting it in my mouth company Mars said we have metal detectors in plants so this doesn’t happen but for sure was in the piece my girlfriend was there when this happened just 3 days ago . So any help would be great

A: A Maine attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. You could contact an attorney who handles injury cases. It sounds like no one was injured, and I am happy for you there. But if there was grounds for a case, it would be based on actual damages, not damages that might have been. You could reach out to attorneys for their opinions. Good luck
