    Halp BG Legal + Medical, Metal shard in food

    Ok so I went to the burger store (not a big one like mcdonalds like a small one) and I got a burger to go. I went back to my apartment ate said burger and in the last bite a shard ( I think its steel wool) scratched my tongue. We have the shard saved but since it was in my last bite no more burger.

    Now I have two questions about this

    A) Do I have any sort of case against said burger shop since I brought the food home?

    B) Should I go to the hospital? I threw up everything as soon as I could, and I like to think I'm a good chewer so I don't think anything else got by. Another thing I was thinking of the Jews ate diamonds and they lived fine so if I swallowed steel wool?

    You'll probably be dead in less than 4 hours.

    If it's a place that grills burgers, it's probably a bristle from the brush they use to clean the grill. I've had those before from a burger I grilled, luckily you kinda know its there in your mouth before you swallow, the chances of actually swallowing one are very low.

    I'm not really too concerned with the medical aspect, really just wondering if I have a case, but I don't think I have one unless serious damages are made aware? I'm sure I could file a complaint and have a food inspector give them a written warning or whatever they do at the very least.

    My assumption is they cleaned the grill with steel wool and then there was a shard on the grill, put the burger on the grill without giving a shit and vwala

    edit:
    "I hear if you eat 100 nickles then your most desired dream will come true. Should try it out "

    Maybe if my desired dream was being worth five dollars

    vwala?

    Really?

    You weren't hurt right? What would you sue for, emotional distress?

    That's what I'm assuming since there was no damages there's nothing to have a case for. I just don't want this shit to happen to someone else

    edit: Though we'll find out when I go to the ER and have an X-ray or whatever done to see if I swallowed any then most likely a case can be made if I did is what I'm guessing

    You don't have a case. Tell anyone you care about to not go to that restaurant anymore. You can be a hero without being paid.

    Or you could, oh I don't know, call the place and let them know what happened so that they'll try to be more careful in the future. You may get a free meal out of it to boot. Lawsuits like the one you're proposing are ruining this country.

    Edit: vwala!

    Jesus, you want to sue over something like this? American sueing culture never fails to amaze me.

    Moreover, how do you hope to get a large settlement from a burger joint that is not a large franchise. Should you find a lawyer to take this to court, which you won't because they will likely see that the cow is not fat enough to slaughter, you will just put a small-owner out of business and perhaps walk away with the amount you paid for your burger. And, as others have said, you have not been harmed. No case.

    I like how having a case implies large settlement

    edit: "You may get a free meal out of it to boot." Right so I can get another metal shard, that's really using the brain

    Why do you want to sue at all? I honestly don't understand. You don't seem to be hurt in any way whatsoever. Do you think this place is a health risk for people eating there? If so, doesn't your city have a local health department that can investigate?

    It's obvious you are hoping to walk away with a few bucks. Now don't get me wrong, Victims have absolutely every right to sue. Victims.

    It would have most likely passed through your bowels with no issue if you'd actually swallowed it by the way, just so you know.
