I choked on a long and sharp piece of wood that was in a "Special K Chocolatey Pretzel" ceareal bar that I was eating. Can I sue?
Question Details:While eating a "Special K Chocolatey Pretzel" cereal bar, I choked on a long and sharp piece of wood that was in the cereal bar. After a few seconds of choking on this piece of wood, i managed to cough it out of my throat.
Absolutely. You need to put what's left of the cereal bar and the piece of wood into a secure container (a plastic sandwich that closes at the top will do), and get to a lawyer. The company is strictly liable for dangerously defective products that it puts into the marketplace.
If you were hurt at all, and maybe even if you're not feeling any pain right now, you should see a doctor, to make sure that there isn't an internal injury that needs treatment. The severity of your injuries, and how well you can prove those injuries, will play a large part in figuring out what this case is worth.
