A Connecticut woman decided to sue the Chopt restaurant chain after she discovered, to her horror, that she had just chewed off a piece of a human finger that had fallen onto her salad, after the establishment’s manager had cut herself.
Last April, American Allison Causey, of Greenwich, realized while enjoying a meal that she was “chewing part of a human finger that had been mixed with the salad and made up part of it,” the lawsuit states. For CBS News.
The latter was accidentally found in a customer’s salad, after the manager of the establishment located in Mount Kisco, New York, cut her finger while preparing watercress, according to American media reports.
