Yes, you could but you have to prove it in court.

No joke, this happened to me when I was pregnant. I was eating a bowl of rice crispys withsugar on it and I bit something hard and spit it out, it was most of an adult molar that didn't belong to anyone in the house. We took it to a lawyer and he said it was a waste of time to sue because the couldn't prove it was from the cereal and not from the milk jug or sugar.

You are aware that you will likely go to jail for making a false claim.
Ref. The Wendy's finger in the chili case. If you think that the company in question is going to sit by in idle while you rake them thru the mud you are living with the scarecrow in OZ.
You have a tooth and a story, nothing else.

I think it does. It's a health hazzard and something in which the tooth potientially could have carried a deadly virus on it....
so yes...it is grounds for a lawsuit. Not one designed to be out to just hurt the company, but one that is designed to make sure that things like this don't happen again.

Why not just explain to the company what happened and settle for some coupons or medical reimbursement if needed. Why are you so quick to sue?
Are you sure it's not your tooth?

That's sick. That definitely sounds like grounds to sue to me, and you should.

Yes, you can sue, but you may NOT win.
