Young Carrick-on-Suir boy sits on the toilet for 'an entire day' after eating laxative chocolate bar

A mother from Carrick-on-Suir, County Tipperary, Ireland has warned parents to check their chocolate bars before allowing their children to consume them after her son ate a chocolate bar that had been purposely filled with laxatives by the company and he ended up sitting on the toilet for an entire day.

Ten year-old Fearchar Hanegan from Kickham Street, Carrick-on-Suir went to the Clery's newsagents on Main Street to purchase a Cadbury's Dairy Milk chocolate bar, but little did he know of the impending doom that the offending bar would bring - 24 hours of sitting the toilet.

His mother, Sive Hanegan said: "For an entire day Fearchar was unable to leave the bathroom, he must have sat on that toilet for an entire day. To ensure he didn't get bored I brought the living room TV and the Sky Digibox into the bathroom as well his Xbox 360.

“I had no idea it was due to a laxative filled chocolate bar was the reason this happened, but it was obvious because it was the last thing he ate on the day before.” said the mother.

When she realized the chocolate bar was behind the incident she reported the matter to the Gardai, who carried out an investigation. The Gardai interviewed Fearchar and asked him his thoughts on the chocolate bar, he reportedly told Gardai officers that the chocolate bar was "crap".

Cadbury's Irish offices in Dublin were contacted by Gardai and they admitted that they had included laxatives in a bar made in their factory in the Tallaght area of Dublin. They stated the reason they did this was to "do something that no other chocolate bar manufacturer has done before" and hoped that it would gain international media attention.

However they stated that the bar was "not suppose to go on sale" and that it was an accident. They apologized and assured Irish citizens that it would not happen again, therefore no arrests or charges have been made by the Gardai.

Cadbury's offices in Coolock released a statement saying that only one chocolate bar was contaminated and all others were fine.

However the mother is not happy, she is suing Cadbury's for €50,000,000 in damages, inconvenience and Glade air fresheners that she had to purchase to rid her bathroom of a strong stench of stool after the incident was over.
