My family and I was at Burger King last night and when I bit into my fish I felt something hard in my mouth, I took it out and what I saw looked like a large plastic tack, like a thumb tack, but two times the size and solid plastic. I took it to the Manager, who then called the crisis line they took a report, gave me a chicken sandwich and sent me on my way! After I was home a couple hours, a man called from BK and took more info., then told me BK corp. would be calling me today. (They kept the plastic) What should I do-if anything?

Ask yourself this...where did it come from? What was on it? Who touched it? Why was it there? Was it an accident? If not...why? Will I get sick later? What was the black stuff on it?

Ridiculo.. We also live in a world where people are trying to hurt and kill anyone they can! So the people who got stuck with needles in the gas pumps and now have aids (as reported on ALL the news stations), should just shut their mouths? And if my child got plastic in her food, as a good mother, we sure as hell would not have went back a second time! Wake up! This world is a very scary place!

Are you hurt? Are you emotionally scarred for life? No, you are not. The right thing is to thank them for doing the best they could in a horrible situation.
Unfortunately, most people in your situation would claim mouth injury, new eating disorder, loss of sexual prowress, and a newfound fear of plastic, and sue the world for 2.9 Billion dollars. And that is one of the big things wrong with this world.
Move on.

I'd wait to see what else they do or tell you.
Personally, I think a sincere apology and maybe some more free food would be sufficient. You didn't say anything about being injured, so sounds like no medical care is needed.
As long as there was no lasting harm, why sue? Too many people are too quick to do that.
Now, if an employee had planted the object in your food deliberately, slightly different story, but still no lasting harm. If they fire the employee, apologize, and give you some free stuff, I think they've more than compensated you.

They took the plastic so you couldn't sue. You need evidence (a photograph, the plastic, etc). If you sued, Burger King would not produce the plastic. Since you have no medical bills, etc. you don't really have a case. The only shot you would have is claiming emotional distress. Example: You are terrified of eating out now because of what happened. However in your case, I don't think it was bad enough.

Well, I would ask yourself some questions first. Did I get hurt physically or emotionally? Do I really want to make an attorney a little richer? Do I want to contribute to rising insurance and food costs? And mostly, is it really worth it? We live in a sue happy society. People sue for just about anything. This helps insurance rates to skyrocket, food and product prices to go up, etc...

I'm sorry to read about your experinced.
Generally, I don't understand why some people like to sue others for small stuffs. I mean, that's one of the reasons why our world today is the way it is; enemies here and there. There's no more respect and restraint.
As for your own experienced, maybe you need it as another "experience." Simply move on if it didn't hurt you in any major way.

If someone has foodstuff allergic reactions they ought to not in any respect devour at any eating position. those who truly have foodstuff allergic reactions already recognize that. maximum persons who throw the "sue" note available, stroll into the position with that in concepts. She's extra that likely tried this everywhere else, too. A criminal professional would recognize extra effective. all the eating position will do is furnish yet another sandwich.

First off, shame on you for even going to Burger King in the first place. The sell garbage and you found that out first hand. Avoid fast food and fast pounds will avoid you.

They kept your plastic. You don't have a case. Get on with your life. Don't wory; I'm confident you'll find somebody else to sue if you keep your eyes and ears open. People like you always do. Then it becomes humourous when karma kicks your as$..

If you are not seriously injured and your health is not severely affected, leave it alone and call it a learning experience!! Unless you feel the need to join our sue happy society, as long as you have your health you are fine right?
