When Foreign Objects in Food Cause Serious Health Risks
No one wants to find a foreign object in their food. In addition to being shocking and disgusting, a foreign object can pose a serious health risk. Foreign objects can have viruses and bacteria that make an unwilling consumer sick. Foreign objects may also contain sharp parts that cause lacerations to the inside of the mouth, throat and bowels.
At the law offices of Friedman, Domiano & Smith, our lawyers have helped clients injured by many different types of tainted food. We have handled cases involving things like cleaning solution left in bar glasses, pieces of metal and pieces of denture, as well as E. coli and other viruses.
If You Have Problems With a Food Product
If you or a loved one have been injured because of a foreign object in your food, taking quick action is the best way to protect your interests. If possible, keep the original container or packaging, the uneaten portion of food and any foreign object you discovered. You may also file a formal complaint with the USDA, with the store or the products' manufacturer.
If you think that you are ill or that illness resulted from a foreign object in your food, it is critical that you contact your doctor or another health care provider as soon as possible. As your attorneys, we can handle all of the legal matters so that you can focus on getting the care you need to move forward with you life.
Our work includes doing a thorough investigation of possible product safety breaches that led to the problem. We will look closely at all documentation and talk with witnesses to discover any other instances of improper handling and packaging mistakes.
