The man purchased the sandwich on Aug. 11 from the McDonald's at Chicago's Navy Pier, according to the suit filed on Wednesday in the circuit court of Cook County, Ill.
The plaintiff, Boguslaw Nedza, claims after he ate the sandwich "the earring became lodged in his throat and stomach and efforts to remove it by emergency personnel were unsuccessful." Nedza is now suing McDonald's for the injuries he sustained from ingesting the jewelry.
Among the charges McDonald's faces is failing to "prepare and serve food in a reasonable safe condition," and failing to warn Nedza that his food contained "a gold earring with a sharp needle and clasp rending it unfit for consumption."
When Slashfood asked about the lawsuit, McDonald's Corporation issued the following statement: "We are not aware of this matter, nor have we been notified about a lawsuit. We take all inquiries very seriously. However, at this time, it would be inappropriate to comment or further speculate without more information."

If you want to discuss your wonderful life insurance get a blog and knock yourself out writing about it but save article message boards for relevant comments about the articles.

Was in the hospital..nurse had green fingernail polish, long hair swinging on her shoulders and uniform was anything but white and crisp. The floor was so nasty, would not touch with bare feet and signs everywhere to wash your hands. What ever happened to good old fashioned common sense. If this occurs in hospitals, I don't even want to think what happens in fast food places. Home cooking, clean environment, I'll take it anytime!

Some people would go as far, as to swallow something dangerous, if it meant a $400,000 PAY-OFF!!! And the BIG corporations, are the ones that they target!! Ever notice that??? It's way to easy to purchase fast food, and then "STICK SOMETHING" into it, before you chow down!!!! It's an EASY WAY to make ALOT of money!!

I also got a bottle of wine and drank some and tasted something in it. I found it full of broken glass. Had to call the hospital. Did not sue because it happens and didn't feel like being a aszzzzz.

With a closer look, it turn out to be a broken piece of metal. A broken tooth would have been the least of it. The worst part would have been a free lifetime supple of the same brand ice cream.
