I bought ten 50ml bottles of Smirnoff vodka. But as the label on the bottle says nothing about flavor.. The bottle looks exactly like a regular vodka label,but the contents in the bottle is flavored < Raspberry > and more over the ABV mentioned on the bottle is 40% where as all flavored vodkas are 35%

Label mis-interpretation
Is that not a point where a company can get sued??
I was just wondering if I have a case here

Sure, you can sue anyone you want, but do you have a chance of winning, unlikely..
As for a case, well you haven't shown anything that would even come close to action.

Does the bottle look like this?

You can sue for whatever monetary damage you suffered. You bought ten 50 mL bottles for probably about $3 apiece. Assuming you are unable to return them (have you tried?) would mean you file a lawsuit for damages of about $30. Seriously?

NeedKarma: 50mL bottles are the tiny ones, like they serve on airplanes:

As a customer don't I have the right to get a product & its contents as the label defines.

Yes you do, but that is covered by consumer protection legislation.
Have you tried returning these bottles, which are a odd size anyway.
This is not the normally available size for unflavored vodka..

Then sue for your medical costs that were a result of this purchase, and maybe pain and suffering.

You may sue, for the value of the first bottle opened, since after you knew it was wrong or not what you wanted , you could have taken the rest back.

Not really sure why you'd sue. Your damages are the amount of money you paid for the vodka. You don't mention having an allergic reaction to the vodka, so I'm assuming you didn't. If you did, you'd have to prove it, then you could sue for your medical costs.

But right now you're looking at compensation for the cost of the vodka you bought. It would cost more than that to sue, so not really worth it, especially since the liquor store would most likely refund you your money if you returned it, assuming you didn't drink all of it.
