In Lexington, Kentucky, Holly LaFavers faced an unexpected surprise when her son, Liam, mistakenly ordered approximately 70,000 Dum-Dum lollipops using her phone. The incident began when the 8-year-old aimed to have a carnival and wanted to use the lollipops as prizes for his friends. Despite LaFavers’ attempts to intervene, Amazon had already shipped 22 cases directly to her home. Upon checking her bank account, she was horrified to discover that the total for the order was around $4,000, leading her to nearly faint from shock.
The situation worsened as she realized that eight additional cases had not yet been delivered. After visiting the post office, she managed to return those unaccounted cases. Although obtaining a refund proved to be a lengthy process, LaFavers eventually succeeded after several conversations with her bank and media outlets. Amazon subsequently contacted her to confirm that her money would be refunded.
In light of this pricey mishap, LaFavers decided to adjust the settings on her phone to prevent any future unauthorized purchases, ensuring that surprises like this won’t happen again. The experience, while stressful, highlighted both a child’s creativity and the potential pitfalls of technology when it comes to online shopping. LaFavers has since shared her story, illustrating the humorous yet chaotic moments that can arise in parenting and the importance of securing devices used for online transactions.
