Q: I was wondering if anyone could give me advice for an orange soda pop incident.
In Kentucky where I live, in September 2022 I bought a bottle of Faygo orange soda from a grocery store nearby. When I started drinking it it made my teeth very sore. I've never had this kind of reaction to orange soda before. I took Ibuprofen 800 mg tablets that I have and those may have helped somewhat with the pain. I also talked to a doctor online about this and was given an antibiotic and was told to follow up with a dentist. I did attempt to call up the Faygo company and left messages but never got any response. I'm guessing it's way beyond the time frame to file any kind of a lawsuit. Besides that I would like to know if at this point in time there's anything I can do about this situation. Believe it or not I have the receipt still, the online visit was documented, and I never finished the drink because of the pain it created with my teeth.
A: A Kentucky attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for your tooth pain. I believe that law firms could be reluctant to represent you in such a case because the root causes of tooth pain could be attributable to many other factors - which is something a dentist could speak about with professional validity. This is only my individual perspective. You could speak with other attorneys. Different attorneys can sometimes see the same matter differently. In terms of timeframes, a Kentucky attorney should advise on that. Good luck
