Expert Advice When You Need It Most

I found a lizard head in a bag of frozen green beans. Is there any legal recourse or is it a waste of time?

Any chance to sue the supplier/manufacturer/retailer or are these types of things futile?

You will need to prove damages to be successful. Disgust about a lizard head will not be enough to make a lawsuit worthwhile. Mere temporary anxiety will not justify a lengthy and costly court battle either.

Take the product back to the store or vendor with your complaint and perhaps you will get some coupons or another bag of frozen green beans and an apology.

Good luck to you.

God bless.

Why would you sue? You have no damages. You might be able to return the package to the store and get your money back though.

Not legal advice, just general information intended to educate. If you need legal advice, please consult a Colorado lawyer. That's not me.
