Overview

• Liam, an 8-year-old from Lexington, Kentucky, accidentally ordered 70,000 Dum-Dum lollipops while using his mother’s Amazon account.
• The order resulted in a $4,000 charge, with 22 cases of candy delivered to the family’s doorstep before the mistake was discovered.
• Holly LaFavers, Liam’s mother, worked with Amazon to secure a full refund and returned eight additional cases through the post office.
• Using Facebook, LaFavers successfully redistributed the remaining lollipops to community members and plans to donate them further.
• To prevent future incidents, LaFavers implemented app locks on her phone, highlighting the importance of parental controls in digital safety.
