The grocery owner may be just another struggling businessman. Rather than using this case a tool to grab money, I would rather politely call the FDA and let them know about the case. While doing so, I would also try to make sure that the owner's back is not broken. I would just make sure that he be careful about what he sells next time.

Did the "whole bunch of Putla" attack  you?

How far is the Grocery Store?
Do they have telephone?
Did you try to call them and let them know about the packet? 
Is this your First time to that Indian Store?
Do they know you're Nepali?
So you ate Momo without pickles?
How do you came up with that compensation amount? Are you a math teacher?
DO you know how to use the word "exchange"?
Did you see the return policy posted next to the cash register at the store?
Did you speak hindi, nepali, chinese or english with the cashier?


Be ready to answers these kind of questions if you really want to sue the store.

Good luck.

Haha sis, you re awesome. To take anything to the court, you must first settle matters at local level, means you need to talk to the manager. And anything packed and has a label on it, the manufacturer is responsible, not the store.

Did you check the expiry date before purchasing that packet. You must do that for everything you buy at Indian stores.

Arko Pokhreli keta: That's a huge store here in Dallas. South Asian community know it by the name. I don't plan on breaking the backbone of the owner..it's not worth so big..but we do deserve something don't we?? :)

Is it India Imports????

isn't पुत्ला supposed to a dummy made for protests which they later let in fire?

Haha, dik le hasayo, tyo teelko sutla hola, putla ta dik le vaneko ho

Putla = Put* + la** =  Sotla 

Damn! Furke;

Cmon guy. Give him a cautionary warning this time. Its a small business and u don't wanna earn enemies for nothing

its a long name to type, dimag kharab. While typing your name i have to type, backspace, type, bakspace, backspace, type so thought use shortcut, if you didn't like i won't use again, hehe

Ha ha... Som le america ma kam sam chhodera sue gardai khane bichar garya jasto cha... La gari khau.

PK--- I am not doing devil's advocate here but I think you should check the expiration date before you buy it. Most of these bugs are created because of the heat and warm weather. If I were you, I'd go to the store and talk with owner/manager, unless for $50, you're willing to forget everything and start over.
Keep in mind that there are only few Indian stores in most cities. If they get fined, they are not gonna close down, they will increase the price of items and you end up paying for it in a log run(may a lot more than $50, if you're lucky to pull his tooth to get this).
Soon, The indian grocery will be like a health plan...no one an afford it. It's a long haul to get products from India to you kitchen and it takes quite some time.I'd suggest to go to the store which has more turnover so that you have better chances to get fresher products.
My 2 cents.....

Thats fine Furke!

Diwnload an app " moron test" and take the test... I'm sure you will fail it..

P.S
It costs u atleast 1500 to go to the court here in Texas

Just got curious again, as per your statement they will fail and your are sure about it? Why you are so sure about others result. ? Did you take the test and you know about it?

I think court fee for a civil case in Texas is less than $30. sna, what's your math for 1500?
