Can you sue 7 11 for selling you expired gum?

Answer 1

For the most accurate legal advice pertinent to your particular situation and jurisdiction, you should consult a qualified lawyer in your area, which I am not.

You cannot sue a store for simply having expired gum on their shelves. The purpose of a lawsuit is to make injured parties whole again, not to enrich people. If you were to purchase expired gum not realizing it was expired and were to consume it, you may have grounds for a lawsuit. But the gum simply sitting on the shelf, though disturbing, has not injured you in any way that you require compensation to be made whole again.

Answer 2

Yes because it is involving your health just like if someone gave you some old expired food and they knew it they could sue you.

Added: While you could sue, you'll need to keep in mind that your damages would be limited to any costs you incurred as a result. If you got sick, you could recover your medical bills and lost wages. Further, if you chewed the gum even though it was expired, you would share in the fault, and thus may only be able to recover only a portion of the damages you incurred.
