Do they put rat meat in chili? You can call the company. You may even have a claim. If a substance not normally found in a food product is in the food, there may be a claim for breach of contract and breach of warranty of fitness for the purpose intended.

you should. They will likely thank you, apologize and give you some kind of credit or gift certificate. It ain't a case worth pursing in any event.

It's not worth a lawsuit, but you should call the company. I'm sure you'll get your money back, and (if you would even be remotely interested) plenty of free coupons to try their product again.

Of course you can call the company, but the question is what kind of bones are they? Beef bones? Rat bones? Human bones? You would need to know that before proceeding. I'm sure the company would want to investigate what went wrong. The company will want the can so they can get manufacturing info off of it.

Yes, you can call the company, however, if all you suffered is a minor scratch to the roof of your mouth (especially if you did not feel it necessary to seek medical attention for it), do not expect the company to offer you a lot of money.

Yes, you may call the company. Hopefully, you saved the bone.

Yes, we have a law in Florida that makes the manufacturer liable for selling a food product with ingredients like that in it. Do not lose the bone parts, or you wouldn't have a case.
