If I had been the customer, I'd have had a good laugh about the poor schmuck who wrote that message--cause we've all been there--and I'd have gone on about my business.

Do you have grounds for legal action? I don't know. If I were on the jury, I'd have an awful hard time finding in favor of damage penalties that would make it worth your effort.
Co-Sign. Frivolous.

Can you find someone to take the case? Sure - there are desperate shysters out there like there are desperate car salesmen and real estate agents. I neither think you have grounds to win, nor do I think morally you should even try. A letter of apology and maybe some good will credit from the company will do nicely.
