A Moscow resident has filed a lawsuit against a snack producer, seeking 200,000 rubles ($6,500) in damages after finding a dead mouse in a bag of roasted nuts in January, RIA-Novosti reported Tuesday.
Pyotr Khokhlov said the Moscow-based producer, Moskovskaya Orekhovaya Kompania, refused to compensate him even after independent consumer rights experts confirmed that the dead rodent was placed into the bag during factory packaging. The company has not commented on the claim. No date has been set for the hearing.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
