Bergen Man Sues After Getting Fake Penis In Mail

FAIR LAWN, NJ — Nicholas Carretta didn't appreciate the chocolate penis someone sent to his office in Fair Lawn.

He didn't like the chocolate feces or exploding glitter bomb that were sent to his home in Oakland either.

Carretta doesn't know who ordered the packages, but is suing R&D Promos LLC and Rain Parade LLC, the companies responsible for sending them.

According to court documents filed Feb. 26, Carretta "suffered substantial fear, apprehension, harm and emotional distress" from three packages sent to his home and office in 2019 and 2020.

The first was sent to his Fair Lawn office courtesy of Rain Parade, which operates a website under the trade name D**k At Your Door. Available for purchase and delivery are "chocolate novelty gift for your friends, enemies, or just the neighbor who can’t seem to pick up her dog’s poop in your yard."

Among those "gifts" are imitation penises, which an unnamed sender mailed to Carretta's office. The delivery "shocked, scared, and offended" him, and "further shocked, scared and offended" him once "the package came in contact with his person," according to court documents.

The next package didn't come until Nov. 11, 2020, when a "glitter bomb" arrived at Carretta's Oakland home.

R&D Promos operates a website called Ruindays.com, which offers such products as the "Spring Loaded Glitter Bomb," the "Disguised Spring Loaded Glitter Bomb" and several more phallic options.

The "Spring Loaded Glitter Bomb," the one sent to Carretta, according to court documents, includes over 40 grams of glitter and a 9-inch spring, and the company promises "total glitterstruction."

Carretta opened the package, which exploded in his face and struck him "with force in the eyes, nose and mouth." Glitter also became lodged in his clothing, as well as a nearby desk, files and in his carpet, according to court documents.

Another package was sent to his home around Thanksgiving, this time addressed to "Fat Midget," according to court documents. This package contained chocolate imitation feces sold by Rain Parade.

All of these instances qualify as acts of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and conspiracy, the complaint alleges.

Both companies and the unknown senders, engaged in conduct "extreme and outrageous, beyond all bounds of decency tolerated by society, and would be regarded as atrocious, and utterly intolerable in a civilized community," the document read.
