Hi pals, I purposely opened a new acct for this cos of d sensitivity. Please i need ur candid advice on this issue.

A cousin of mine got a crate of soft drinks and found out dat one of d 7up has a very big COCKROACH corked inside.

He showed it to a Pepsi distributing van, he was begged to give dem the bottle and give him about four crates in return.

A thought came to my mind and i told him "Man we are educated individuals, we can get a substantial amount of money from dis company if we follow d right procedure.

Maybe by threatening to sue them to court for improper Good house keeping (GHK) during production and total disregard for consumer health safety by getting d services of a lawyer who will first write them of d situation or report to NAFDAC (last option though cos dis means making money for corrupt politicians to steal ,cos we know NAFDAC can't fine them for nothing less than several millions of naira).

As anyone ever done dis n got good money from this companies or gat advices to give.

NOTE:: pls don't castigate us, since d govt cant help us,we av to utilize d slightest opportunity to hit big time.

Forget about it bruv.

Your problem is double.

You can't sue them unless you actually drank the drink and hence you can sue them for causing risk to your health. But the problem is that you can't prove that it wasn't you who put the cockroach in there.

Even if you want to sue them right now, what will be your reason? You didn't drink it and it is still unopened. All that they will say is that you bought a fake bottle of 7up. Also even if they admit it is from their company, all they will do is replace your cockroach bottle.

Sorry bruv. Payday isn't coming to you. Toss that bottle or return it back to the seller and hope they refund your money.

Re: Advices Needed Urgently. I Want To Petition 7UP PLC by xhamel89: 10:44pm On Mar 14, 2015

tanks bro.. but judgement can never be in dre favour wen we av d bottle with us as a clear evidence

It could go in their favour. That proof can be proved wrong or implicate you. When i was 10 years old, i found Tiger Battery inside Coke bottle. My dad was a strong officer in the police, but to my surprise, he just kept the evidence inside his room for many years. His reason, i now understand when i grew up. You should know that there is no batch number or identity number of that particular unit. The company could claim you inserted the cockroach and cocked it. To seal the lid is not difficult you should know, their competitor could hired you also, as they may alleged.

Report it to Nafdac but do not make attempt to sue them, you will loose the case and they may turn the tide against you and you could get punished.

As a legal practitioner I'll tell you this. The suit will fail. The rules guiding this sort of suit will focus more on whether any harm has happened to you as a result and whatever loss you have suffered.
As it is, you are only entitled to a refund or a replacement.
If you drank it and it then caused you harm all you would then need do would be to prove that drinking it caused you harm.

You would have been able to sue under contract but the rule of privity of contract would bar u. Also in law of tort, u wouldn't be able to sue for negligence on the company's part since a vital ingredient is missing, which is damage. You must show dat the consumption of the drink caused u damage. My advice is see a lawyer and u can check google on the case Donogue v Stevenson

You said you are educated. Therefore you should know that you can't get anything from 7up because you haven't suffered any damage from it. What the can guy did by giving you some crate is a PR stunt and that is likely you best offer.
Re: Advices Needed Urgently. I Want To Petition 7UP PLC by mickey05: 11:12pm On Mar 14, 2015
Hi,

Legally speaking, the elements you will require to prove a case of Negligence against them are lacking in this case. For a successful proof of Negligence, you must establish the following:
1. Duty of Care
2. Breach of the duty of care
3. Damage incurred or suffered as a result of such breach.

From the above, you might find it hard proving the 3rd leg of the elements.

Moreover, to establish the case of Negligence in Nigerian Courts is a tall order.

However, you are not totally without a remedy as there are smarter ways to handle this with better results.

You can reach me on 08123585412 for more advise so we can talk better.

Cheers.

hmmmm,well thanks pals for ur advices. One thing i know certainly is dat dis company wouldn't want NAFDAC to get hold of d bottle cos it means heavy fine n maybe even suspension for them. Note that d batch code is still written bodly on d bottle, Please u guys saying we will just waste money on this case are wrong cos we plan taking up d services of a human rights activist lawyer who is ready to protect individuals without paying a dine. I don't av to take d drink den cause am to me bfre suing dem, or can a dead man sue?

As a trained microbiologist,and having worked at a similar drink producing firm bfre (Nigerian Brewery), for industrial attachment, i can assure that all d products produced in dat batch is highly contaminated with various pathogenic bacteria cos of d poor quality control measures during production..
