Q: On Father’s Day my father pulled out a shard of metal from inside his mouth after eating a chicken ball
Chicken ball was from a Chinese take out , my father thought he had broke his tooth but then pulled out a piece of metal
A:
Sorry to hear about your father's experience. I hope that he is OK. If he did not break his tooth or suffer any serious injury, your best bet might be to write a letter to the restaurant explaining what happened. You want to make sure that this doesn't happen to anyone else.
If he did suffer injury, you may want to talk to a personal injury lawyer to see if there is a case. These cases can be very difficult without any evidence. Did you save the piece of metal? Did you take pictures of the metal that was in the food? Did you make a report of biting into the metal while you were at the restaurant? That will be the evidence you want to show the lawyer when you meet.
