Foreign object in food

Lets look at your situation and work backwards. Are you injured. If not it seems that you do not have a worthwhile case. If you are injured then the extent of the injuries must be evaluated regarding the long term damage you suffered. Make sure it is a "rat" tail and it can be proven that it was in the hamburger and not placed there after the fact. There are usually significant penalties regarding a fraudulent claim of this nature. Good luck
