SUMMARY: A Kentucky mother was stunned to discover roughly 70,000 Dum-Dum lollipops delivered to her doorstep after her eight‑year‑old son, Liam, accidentally placed the order on her phone. Holly LaFavers tried canceling the purchase once she realized what happened, but Amazon had already sent 22 cases—and eight more went missing before being returned to sender. The unexpected haul carried a roughly \$4,000 bill, which left LaFavers “about fainting” when she checked her bank account. After contacting her bank, speaking with news outlets and Amazon, she ultimately secured a full refund. She’s since tightened her phone’s settings to prevent any future surprise orders.
