Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Chicken McNuggets� are usually boneless, but they are made from chickens, which aren't. Aside from the fact that the the offending object would have to be artificial (something that's not naturally found in a chicken) for you to recover, you would also have to be injured by the presence of the object. No harm, no fowl.

While Mr. Stone's conclusion likely is correct, the object you find in a product does not have to be so foreign as he indicates. A customer has the right to assume that there are no bones of any type in a McNugget but finding one that does not cause you any physical harm does not really give you any significant legal harm. You can write McDonald's as to your experience and they may give yo a coupon for some free food, but your "case" is not worth going after.

Stone is right, Shers is wrong, but Stone is going to be doing hard time under the "use a pun go to prison" law. ;) Seriously, though, there is a case right on point in which a person found a chicken bone in a burrito and it actually caused them to be hurt, but the court of appeal found that as a matter of law chicken meat is a natural agricultural product that you cannot assume will never have bones in it.
