| |  I found a piece of rubber in my Frito Lay Fritos
What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California 
I found a piece of blue rubber in my Frito Lay Fritos brand Scoops Corn Chips, as I was about to bite into it. The blue color caught my eye, and upon further investigation I could tell it was a piece of rubber because it was pliable and soft. I saved both the bag it came in and the chip itself, totally intact.
So I'm wondering if I have any options. Do you have any advice or recommendations for me? I haven't contacted the Frito Lay company yet because I wanted to know my rights first. It seems like I have some compensation coming to me from the Fritos/Frito Lay Co. Thank you for your help.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? |

Call Frito Lay let them know what you found. They will send you coupons for some Fritos on them.

| | | Sorry, but you haven't hit the frito lay lottery. The most you can hope for is a free bag of chips. You have no damages, therefore no monetary gain.

| | | So what are your damages?None. How about you take a picture of the blue rubber and send it to Frito-Lay. You'll get some free Scoops. Sorry but the law suit ship isn't going to sail for you on this one. |
