An Albany mother claims she was left “angry” and “betrayed” when the apple pie she thought she was buying from a local ShopRite turned out to be a cherry pie, leading her daughter to get sick when she ate a piece of it, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Albany County Supreme Court.
The supermarket allegedly “misbranded and mislabeled” the pastry as an apple pie that she bought during a trip to the store on April 20, according to legal papers.
For that alleged switcheroo, plaintiff Tiffany Brady wants $35,000 in damages.
Brady, a mother of five, and her family “strongly dislike and have sensitivities and allergies to cherry pie,” the lawsuit claims.
When her 2-year-old daughter took a bite of the pie, she fell ill, the legal action states.
“Occasionally, Plaintiff will give her daughter a treat, like Apple pie,” the lawsuit states. “Much to Plaintiff’s disappointment and dismay, she trusted that the pie in question was apple and fed some to her daughter, who became sick the whole weekend after eating it.
“Plaintiff was guilt-ridden and could not sleep the entire weekend because she fed her family the mislabeled and misbranded pie.”
The pie in question was labeled a “Store Baked Apple Pie” that had a sale-by date of April 23, the lawsuit states.

I’d like to meet that lawyer
Loser pays, in this case it would be nice.
Better call Saul!
No Albany lawyer would touch this, they had to get one from that cesspool called NYC.
Nuisance lawsuit. They should countersue for abuse of process and move to have him disbarred. And her declared a vexatious litigant.
It’s not like she wants to her cake and eat it too.
Not that tough to tell. Caveat emptor
If she knew the kid was allergic to cherries, which I kinda doubt, why did she then serve the pie to her after seeing that it was not an apple pie?
This is a set-up.............
The dildoes currently infesting our country are a bunch of sensitive, GREEDY crybabies.
Just about every apple pie I have ever seen has a filling that is grey to off-white in color. Every cherry pie I have ever seen is RED. Did she not notice the color when she fed it to her daughter?
We really need to get rid of punitive damages in this country.
The daughter should sue the mother for negligence and child abuse!
Yep.
How do people find lawyers to handle these cases?
New slogan, “For the Pie-Hole”
The defendant is found guilty. The plaintiff is awarded one new apple pie, a bottle of Pepto Bismol, a new pair of glasses so she can see what the pie is when she cuts into it and visit from a concert musician to play the sad trombone sound. Wuaaa-waaaah.
Sooo, when she cut a slice for her kid, she didn’t notice that it was red inside?
You can see the filling through the crust vents in the store. It’s red. Then you cut the pie unless your two year old helps herself. Still red.
It is also possible to buy two different pies and switch the pies so that the plastic clamshell labels are now incorrect.
Shoprite makes terrible pies btw. Filled with goo.
