E-mail was the only attempt of notice. No letter, no phone call. I do not have internet at home, what if I never received the notice? I live in an apartment and this could jeopardize many peoples lives. Is this proper notification by the company for this situation? Do I have some type of a case to help protect any future type flaws by this new product?

I called the store and made a report, took pictures of the object. Then taped the object to my receipt. I have refused to give them the object but they claim that it is in my best interest to hand it over to them. No one was seriously physically hurt other than a small prick on my thumb when retrieving it out of the mashed potatoes. However NEVER again will I eat out. I want to know what is in my food. This should be reported to the Board of Health. What should my next step be.

I called the company and they are having me send the plastic and the container back. I have documented the can information and took pictures of the plastic and the can. Is there any legal action I can take? If I hadn't noticed it, he could have choked on it.

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:33:44 PDT http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/foreign-object-in-bottle-of-juice-153502.html This past Saturday, my 8 year old daughter opened up a 16 oz. bottle of juice. The lid did pop, as one would expect. Floating inside it was a foreign object that somewhat resembles part of a mangled band-aid, but we're not sure. We only took the object out once with tweezers and videotaped it because we were anticipating the Health Department collecting the bottle. We also took pictures if it in the bottle. The matter has now been turned over to the FDA- they were provided the pictures we took of the object. Also, the juice company is asking us to return the bottle via prepaid Fed Ex. Should we do this? Also, should we take the thing out again and get better pictures of it? We were offered coupons for the inconvenience. Should we seek a lawyer or is this a frivolous thing?
