Legal Question in Consumer Law in Pennsylvania
i recently purchased food at a local taco bell and when i bit into my taco i bit down onto an earring that cut the roof of my mouth. i filed an incident report with them and also went to get a tetanus shot. not only am i disgusted by what happened but i also have concerns that i was put at risk of contracting some other sort of communicable disease. the owner of the local stores contacted his insurance company about the matter and a representative from the insurance company left me a message stating that they are looking into where the earring could have originated from. of course the owner claims that it could not have been in his store since they have a strict policy about jewelry which in my eyes does not guarantee it couldn't of happened locally. i intend on filing a complaint with the consumer protection agency,the health department and discussing an article with the local newspaper but am not sure if i should wait until i get legal counsel in this matter. i am not sure what taco bell intends to do about this matter but i want them to be held accountable for the obvious negligence in this case but need help or advice about what to do next

You should contact a lawyer who handles personal injury matters. Did you give them the earring? if not, hold on to it.
