There are attorneys who take these cases. In my mind, unless a client suffers significant complications from actually ingesting a foreign object, these cases are not worth the time and effort to prosecute. Nevertheless, if you're interested in pursuing the claim you should preserve the item that you found in the food and contact a local personal injury attorney (one in your state). Personal injury attorneys take cases on a contingency basis which means you only have to pay if you succeed. Additionally, initial consultations are free. You can use the "Find a Lawyer" service through this website to research personal injury attorneys. Then, visit each attorney's website and select a firm that has a record of successful verdicts.
