Legal Question in Product Liability in Washington
Found rock in food
Can I sue for finding a rock that I bit into from a bag of sunflower seeds? It hurt a lot but I dont think any damage was done to my teeth, it was just very painful. Plus I have to go to the dentist to get my teeth looked at.

Yes, you can sue for your dental bill and possibly for the pain. However, this is something you'll likely pursue in a letter to the business first. I they do not settle with you to your satisfaction you'd likely pursue the matter in small claims court.
At your service,
