Foreign Objects in Food?
Locally we have had several instances of people allegedly finding foreign objects in their food. Negligence? Breach of warranty? Strict products liability? Those are good doctrinal concerns, but don’t be hasty.
In the first case, a woman found what was identified as an herbal supplement in her frozen fish. A recall was instituted. Later, one of her children admitted placing the pills in the fish. Now, a man alleges he found a pill floating in his orange juice. He reported the incident to the store, and has since been administered multiple lie detector tests by the FDA. His case is unresolved. The story (which quotes me for the astute observation that false claims increase scrutiny on subsequent claims) is here.
