Someone doesn't like Nicholas Carretta. Or, at least, they've got a wicked sense of humor.
That was clear when a chocolate sculpture in the shape of a penis showed up unsolicited at his Fair Lawn office in May 2019.
Last November came another nasty surprise: a spring-loaded glitter bomb that exploded confetti in Carretta's face and across his home in Oakland.
Two weeks later, another chocolate confection arrived at the home, this time shaped like a lump of poop.
Carretta has no idea who sent the packages, according to a lawsuit he filed last week. But he knows who arranged them – a pair of websites that advertise their services to send obnoxious, anonymous gifts by mail – and the Bergen man is out for legal revenge.
Carretta sued the two businesses, R&D Promos LLC and Rain Parade LLC in state Superior Court last week, demanding damages of more than $75,000 for the "fear, apprehension, harm and emotional distress" caused by the pranks.
The companies and the still unknown sender, named as "John Doe" in the lawsuit, engaged in "extreme and outrageous" conduct that went "beyond all bounds of decency tolerated by society" in "a civilized community," according to the complaint.
R&D Promos, headquartered in Queens, New York, runs the website RuinDays.com, while San Diego-based Rain Parade operates its own, obscenely named delivery service. Neither company responded to messages left this week by The Record and NorthJersey.com.
