Kentucky Boy Accidentally Orders 70,000 Dum-Dums on Mother's Phone

News summary

A Lexington, Kentucky woman faced a surprise when her 8-year-old son used her phone to order nearly 70,000 Dum-Dum lollipops from Amazon, intending to use them as carnival prizes for his friends. The massive order, totaling about $4,000, arrived in 30 cases and initially could not be returned, as Amazon's delivery process prevented her from rejecting the shipment at the door. After several attempts to resolve the situation, including returning some boxes via the post office and prolonged discussions with both her bank and Amazon, the woman was eventually refunded. She has since updated her phone settings to prevent future accidental purchases. The incident underscores challenges parents can face with child access to online shopping and highlights the importance of account safeguards. Some of the unopened candy cases were reportedly sold off by the family.
