Judge Mary F Walrath ordered a Sugarfina vendor to turn over champagne-flavored gummy bears and 25,000 candy boxes that had been withheld as part of a pre-bankruptcy dispute, Bloomberg News reported. The upscale candy seller last week sued one of its vendors for failing to hand over the goods, which together with other Sugarfina property are worth an estimated $2.8 million. “The debtor has made a case for irreparable harm if it doesn’t get the champagne bears and cubes,” Judge Walrath said at a hearing. The vendor has threatened to turn off electricity at the warehouse holding the goods, which would destroy the gummy bears, attorneys for Sugarfina say in hearing. The case is Sugarfina Inc., 19-11973, U.S. Bankruptcy Court District of Delaware.
