The law of warranty regarding defects in food products differs depending on whether the offending object (that broke your tooth) is naturally occurring, such as a bone or a seed, or is artificial, such as a piece of metal or glass. Unfortunately, some olives have seeds in them, and this will always be a hazard to salad eaters as long as people keep including olives in their salads.
