More details to this question:
I was eating Uncle Rays potatoe chips today and when I was almost done with eating 3/4''s of the bag i ended up choking on a metal hardware staple that was cooked into one of the potatoe chips. When I was chewing I thought it was just a hard peice of the chip until I started choking. When I went to spit out my food the metal staple ended up stabing the roof of my mouth. It caused me alot of pain, along with blood. I still have the staple, the chip bag and my receipt. My sister was also a witness to what happened. We both couldnt believe that a sharp hardware staple would be in a bag of chips. Would I be able to sue the company for having the metal hardware staple in my food?
