QUESTION: While eating a fish taco at a local restaurant, I bit into a rusty screw in that taco. It crushed a crown on an upper tooth that now has to be removed and replaced. I have been in discomfort and my dentist feels there is possibility of future infection due to potential damage to the tooth’s root. Should I pursue legal action? ANSWER: Providers of contaminated or “adulterated” food may be liable on product liability and breach of warranty theories if the injury-causing substance is foreign to the food.
QUESTION: I am 6 months pregnant and I went to a local gas station, Texaco, and bought a honey bun. As I was eating the honey bun, a co-worker saw me and snatched it from me because there was mold all over the back. There was no expiration date at all. I let the manager know about this and his response was that I should have looked at it before I ate it. He was really rude. I also went to the ER and got medicine. I have a doctor’s.
