Carol bought a bag of cookies made by Royal Foods Inc. When she opened the bag, before she ate any, she found a dead spider in the bag. 18 months after it happened, Carol sued Royal Foods claiming that because of the spider she has suffered serious mental health problems. She has a great fear about eating anything now, she thinks there are spiders in all her food and she has lost so much weight she is very weak. She has also suffered extreme depression and can't work. She is claiming $1,000,000 in damages. Carol will probably

1,lose because her damages are not reasonably forseable (too remote)

2,lose because Royal would have had a disclaimer clause on its cookie package

3,win and receive the $1,000,000

4,win and receive slightly smaller punitive damages though

5, lose because she did not file within the limitation period
