scottobearDO NOT EAT FRITO-LAY PRODUCTS!
=================================
A bloody Band-Aid. Bullet casings. Ibuprofen. Gasoline. Cleaning fluid. Roaches, rodents, and wasps.
They're not listed on the labels, but these are some of the ingredients snack food giant Frito-Lay found in its packaged products after receiving complaints from consumers.
The litany of contaminants detected in potato chips, cookies, and popcorn was revealed during pretrial proceedings in a lawsuit scheduled for trial today in Suffolk Superior Court.
Edye Merzer, a Jamaica Plain psychologist, alleges that she suffered a host of debilitating neurological disorders, including small brain seizures, foot and leg pain, breathing and stomach problems, chronic headaches, and exhaustion after eating four chips she says were tainted with cleaning fluid. During discovery in the seven-year-old case, Frito-Lay turned over piles of complaints filed between 1991 and 1994, involving nearly all the company's products - Fritos, Cheetos, Doritos, Lays, Grandma's Cookies, Rold Gold, Sunchips, Munchos, Smartfood, and assorted dips.
