I found something sharp in my mac and cheese,..

Asked almost 3 years ago - Oceanside, CA

my husband and i were eating kraft macaronii and cheese two nights ago when he made a funny face. He pulled out a large clear peice of plastic about the size of a nickle from his mouth that had a VERY sharp edge on it. there is no way he could have swallowed this and NOT have had to go to the hospital for some type of energy. i kept the piece of plastic and the box of kraft in a plastic bag. what should i do from here?

Lawsuits aren't based on potential harm - they are a way to compensate someone that's been actually harmed by an event. Thankfully, your husband wasn't injured. The only damages you could sue for would be the value of a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese.

You may want to write Kraft and let them know what happened. Often, the business will send you an apology letter and coupons for their products.

You may get a coupon or free product from the company if you write a letter and enclose the object found in the product. A claim for negligence requires damages that luckily you did not suffer.

Good luck.
