A woman in Yubei district has filed a lawsuit against a food company, claiming its brand of spicy gluten caused a family conflict. The woman, surnamed Liu, said the gluten’s packaging looked like that for a condom, which angered her husband and caused him to demand a divorce. She said she contacted the company but a customer service representa­tive allegedly ignored her complaint. The company has apologized to Liu and offered her some free spicy gluten, but she has refused to drop the case. Wuhan that bequeathed her house to her second son has been declared invalid by a judge. The 84-year-old woman, surnamed Zhou, made the will last year but did not write it herself or sign it because she was illiterate. Four of her five children rejected the will and the matter ended up in court. A judge has now ruled that the will was invalid and ordered the house to be divided equally among the five children.
