- Because they sent him some things that he didn’t like.
Nicholas Carreta, 47, of Bergen County sued New York based prank company after what he received in the mail. He alleged that they sent a chocolate penis, a glitter bomb, and other unwanted packages.
Carretta felt that the things sent to him from R&D Promos, aka Ruin Days, were meant to shock, offend, and frighten him. The company sent him “multiple unsolicited, obscene and harmful packages” over the course of 18 months.
Ruin Days is a company out of Queens New York that allows its customers to send the most obnoxious of things including glitter bombs, imitation feces, bags of dirt and other annoying pranks to unsuspecting recipients. “We ruin your enemy’s day …” the literature states.
Carretta received a chocolate penis in the mail in May 2019 while he was at work in his office at Fair Law. The package was “designed to disguise the true nature of its contents,” states the suit, which was filed last month in Superior Court of Bergen County.
He claims upon opening the package containing the fake penis that he had “suffered fear, apprehension, harm and emotional distress.” In November 2020, he got a spring-loaded glitter bomb that exploded in his face, according to the lawsuit.
“Carretta opened the package (and) the glitter bomb exploded in his face, causing glitter to strike him with force in the eyes, nose, and mouth,” the suit states. The glitter became “lodged in Mr. Carretta’s clothing, as well as a nearby desk, files and carpet,” the suit states.
Carretta received mail addressed to “Fat Midget” with chocolate imitation feces. He said he was frightened and shocked, “and offended that the package of chocolate imitation feces came in contact with his body.”
The lawsuit claims assault, battery, infliction of emotional distress, negligence and conspiracy. Also, the lawsuit names an unidentified John Doe who allegedly ordered and sent the products.
Carretta is seeking $75,000, along with court fees and post-judgment interest, and neither company R&D Promotions nor Ruin Days have responded in regards to commenting on the lawsuit.
