Spent 2 years in pre-Law. Going back in about 9 months ( moved ).
**DISCLAIMER** This is not legal advice. If you want legal advice, contact a practicing lawyer in your area **/DISCLAIMER**
Can you sue? -Yes you can ALWAYS sue.
Will you win? -Probably not.
Will the company settle out of court? -50/50, and if they do, for something like this expect something of a letter of apology and 25-50% more than what you paid for the box with the bad word.( Like sending in a bad candy bar to a company and getting back a coupon for 2 free candy bars )
Will a Lawyer take your case? -You
may be able to find a charity lawyer that would take a small case on a you win you pay basis, but I wouldn't count on it. Just about any other lawyer would do whatever he can if you purchase his time, and from what you told me, there isn't much he can do that you can't
Where does this leave you? Contact the company and tell them what happened. Tell them what you feel they owe you. If they comply or they negotiate with you to something you both agree on then you can move on. If you can not reach an agreement, please reread the questions listed above and ask yourself is it worth it. You may end up with a "coupon" or you may get the guy responsible fired. Just contact the company.
This is not an attack on your character, but rather a heads up. If you do take this company to small claims court, a judge is most likely going to view it as frivolous. If he does, that puts you at a disposition from the start. Is an uphill battle worth it for what you have suffered. If not, I would just let it go if the company doesn't want to help you.
Hope that helps
