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..

Well...when I asked for this one to be archived I said it pulled me into the Lounge (as a lurker). And then later TR's thread about chili made me finally Post in the Lounge and then the Omerta thread finally made me PW in the Lounge.

So really...I was pulled into the Lounge in three separate steps Stick Out Tongue

So how did it finish?

The Companies Big Lawyers played a tremendous game, They manhandled us through a slow grind.. basically they assured us everything would be taken care of and then they slowly let our anger settle down and then they became completely inaccessable and didn't do anything. I did not have the time to waste fighting with them or hiring a lawyer.

I think we got 3 coupons out of the travesty- LMAO

We still buy fancy feast Roll Eyes (Sarcastic) (thats all the cats will eat)

And We got married 3 weeks ago
nice!

The lady I talked to did admit fault but she only offered to replace the product, I told her we wanted to pursue legal counsel and she agreed. She said she would have her supervisor call me back today.. I imagine they would probably offer me more than coupons as the first lady did..

To those of you who say it was nothing- the putrid shit basically went in my girfriends mouth and she became violently ill.. I don't think one can realize how foul the crap in the can was without having been there.. I have never contacted a lawyer in my life and I would never do so for the sake of doing it.. I have been buying their products for 4 years at $11 a box ( a box last less than half a week, so they can take repsonsibility).. -sure have some pics.. I didn't get to shoot one with it all over my girfriends face in time, nor would I show it if I did.. although here is her barfing.. she threw up for 30 minutes straight and then took a shower for over an hour
Becareful not to knock her up, or you might get sued for causing repeated vomiting, pain, urine and other fluids in the face or and the house will never look or smell the same way again. You could be stuck paying out settlement payments every month for 18 years.
