Nicholas Carretta doesn’t know who keeps sending chocolate poo, imitation penises and exploding glitter bombs to his home – but he’s taking legal action nonetheless.

The exasperated New Jersey resident is suing R&D Promos LLC and Rain Parade LLC, the companies responsible for delivering them.

R&D Promos offer various prank products such as the ‘spring-loaded dick bombs’, ‘smelly poop in a box’ and ‘the box of annoying sand’ through their RuinDays website.

“There is nothing linking a package back to the sender,” they say, “unless you reveal yourself in the included personalised note!”

Rain Parade, offers a similar service under the trade name D**k At Your Door.

Carretta has no way of finding out who his mystery “benefactor” might be, but he’s had enough.

According to court documents filed at the end of last month Carretta "suffered substantial fear, apprehension, harm and emotional distress" from three packages sent to his home and office in 2019 and 2020.

The imitation penis "shocked, scared, and offended" Carretta when it arrived at his office, and “came in contact with his person," according to the complaint.

When RuinDays’’ Spring Loaded Glitter Bomb, which is advertised as causing "total glitterstruction” with nearly two ounces of fine-grade glitter and a nine-inch spring, arrived at Carretta’s office the device exploded in his face and struck him "with force in the eyes, nose and mouth” he says.

He added that masses of glitter also became stuck in his clothing, as well as a nearby desk, files and in his carpet, according to court documents.

When a third package addressed to "Fat Midget" arrived at Carretta's home address, he would at least have been prepared for the worst. Luckily, it just contained some foul-smelling imitation poo.

But Caretta has had enough. He’s suing both companies, naming the unknown sender as "John Doe” in his lawsuit.

Caretta says the prank parcels qualify as “acts of assault, battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, negligence, and conspiracy.”

All the items were sent with "the purpose of offending, harming, and causing suffering," it added.

On both sites there are disclaimers that state that the products on offer are meant only as a prank and not for harassment. "These products are intended to generate a laugh and are not to be sent with malicious intent," Rain Parade says. It remains to be seen how a judge will feel about it.
