Eggs with a visible blood spot on the yolk are safe for consumption. The spot can be removed with the tip of a knife. Blood or "meat" spots are occasionally found on an egg yolk. These tiny spots are not harmful and are caused by the rupture of a blood vessel during formation of the egg. Blood spots do not indicate a fertilized egg. Mass candling methods reveal most blood spots and those eggs are removed, but even with electronic spotters, it is impossible to catch all of them. If desired, the spot can be removed with the tip of a clean knife prior to cooking. These eggs are safe to eat.

Blood spots occurr in eggs because of two distinctly different reasons. The first was that the egg had been fertilized and a chicken embryo was in formation. The second was that a tissue irregularity in the hen caused a small amount of blood to be deposited in the egg. In America in modern times, since there are no roosters in the egg-laying coop, only the latter occurs, and incidence of that is relatively low (markedly less than 1% of all eggs will have a blood spot).
In addition, United States government regulations require that Grade A and Grade AA table eggs be checked for blood spots in a process commonly referred to as candling (although it is now done with an infrared light) before eggs can be sold to the consumer as grade A or AA. Thus the incidence of blood spotting in grade A or AA table eggs is very, very small in the United States (perhaps as low as one in 1,000). Eggs with blood spots (or other deformities) are marketed as grade B eggs, which are then sold to commercial manufacturing plants to be used as ingredient in manufactured items. The incidence of blood spotting in grade B eggs varies based on a number of factors, and is not regulated by the government.

umm no you cant sue. eggs come from chickens so no one knows what is inside until you crack it open. You should just probably thrown the egg away and try another one. One time years ago my late mother cracked an egg and it had a dead chick in it. she just threw away but she was shocked to see it.

jeez, no, you can't sue for that, it's common knowledge that you should crack eggs individually in a bowl before using them to cook with because there may be blood, get over it..... you are eating an embryo....

eat it or don't eat it, its up to you, it won't hurt you
I suspect the store will replace the egg if you ask.

You can still eat it. Its just a more mature egg than your use to. I personally wouldn't eat it but it's fine.
No you can't sue
