New Zealand man receives $2,488 compensation for broken teeth from a date pit in snack.
A New Zealand man who broke his teeth on a date pit in a supermarket snack was awarded $2,488 in compensation by a tribunal. Judge Cynthia Hawes ruled that the snack was not of acceptable quality and unsafe for consumption, violating the Consumer Guarantees Act. The manufacturer was ordered to cover the costs of repairing the man's molars and upper denture but not for a lower denture, as it was not directly linked to the incident.
