Legal Question in Product Liability in Pennsylvania

foreign object found in food item

this probably is a stupid question, but here is the situation; while i was eating an Atkins Low-Carb diet bar i bit into it and noticed there was something in the bar. inside is a folded piece of paper-type material, almost cardboard. it runs the length of inside the bar. i had already eaten about a quarter of it. I was totally freaked out because i had no idea what it was. I called the phone number on the box twice, explained the situation that i have no idea what is inside this bar and was extremely upset because i ate some of it! they assured me that someone would call me back. it has been 4 days and i have not received a call back. i called again and was put on hold for 25 minutes then i hung up. i am so mad that they are just blowing me off. Now, i wasnt physically harmed other than being sickened by biting into something and eating something that wasnt supposed to be there! Should I pursue this? shouldnt they take some responsibility? Thank you for your time-----

Without actual damages you really have no claim...other than a refund of your money for the value of the product purchased.

My office also offers flat rate pricing and free consultations, for additional information please visit my firm's website at www.AlleghenyAttorneys.com or by calling my office at 412.731.0865.
