today we were eating at a restaurant and my wife found a rusty tip of a knife or razor blade in her food. it was was approximatly 1/2 inch in length. i brought it to the managers attention and she quickly took it and said she investigate, but she never returned. the server did give us the sandwich for free. we filed a police report and we are calling the health department in the morning. so my question is , is there any legal action we could take?

Thank goodness no one was injured. In a negligence or strict product liability suit there needs to be provable damages for a matter to 1) be worthwhile, 2) get past a motion to dismiss and 3) go to a jury for deliberation. Thankfully because no one was injured, litigation is not the recommended approach. You got a free sandwich and have put the police on alert so the store will clean up its act.
