Should I file a lawsuit? do I have a case?

1,730 18 December 7, 2004 at 08:01 AM
Last night my girlfriend opened a can of fancy feast cat fod made by Purina to feed my cats.. upon opening it the the can violently exploded everywhere across her face.. It was the most foul, putrid, rancid contents ever.. It shot out with a great force all over her face and on the ceiling walls, etc.. I have tons of pictures documenting the whole disgusting thing, My girfriend was throwing up for half an hour afterwards and became violently ill.. We both had to throw out all of the clothes we were wearing and my house smells 100 times worse than a garbage dump.. We couldn't stay here last night becuase of the smell.. Now I have all of my windows up and it still smells like shit.. There are also stains all over my walls from the guck.. It was not normal cat food it was a black sludge and the most foul thing you could imagine..

Anyways I called Purina and they said it was a handling issue in their factories and that they improperly handled the can when it was cooking. Do you think a lawyer would take this case? Should we be compensated by Purina? Its the worst thing I've ever seen in my life..

laugh out loud This thread was the first thing I thought of when I saw the Cat Food thread as well. I actually looked for the pics again this morning but got sidetracked on something else.

Definitely one of my favorite threads ever here.

This thread was far better when it had pictures of the incident. I'm pretty sure I have them somewhere but I can't find them at the moment.

Nearly 18 years later we're still waiting for the outcome of trunk vs Purina.

A lawyer with a briefcase can steal more money than a man with a gun.

Lawyer's can't bill you for their briefs if you don't wear any to court.
