QUESTION
Can I sue a fast food place for serving me raw chicken?
Asked on Mar 03rd, 2024 on Products Liability - Texas
More details to this question:
Pretty much my family went to a fast food place and picked me up some chicken tenders for dinner and gave it to me at home, I ate the first bite and immediately knew something was wrong and realized it was completely raw inside. I ripped open the others and saw they were all raw too. Besides being extremely disgusted and annoyed, so far I feel fine with just a mild upset stomach. I was just gonna toss the food but everyone keeps telling me to sue but I’m unsure if there is even a case to be had. I put it in my fridge but don’t really know where to go from here. Any advice?

Yes, you have a case, albeit not a very lucrative one.
When a merchant sells you a product that is non-conforming (for example, raw chicken instead of properly cooked chicken), you can reject the product, give the seller a reasonable opportunity to cure the non-conformity (for example, by replacing the meal), and then if the seller refuses, you can sue to reclaim the price you paid for the non-conforming good (i.e. the raw chicken).
