chipped tooth on fruit

[pt1234]

Hi, got some great help on these forums last time so thought i would ask this even though it may well be a long shot...i bought some nectarines from asda and basically chipped the front of my tooth on (presumably) the stone in the centre. i did not realise i had chipped my tooth until i had finished. the nectarine was very cold but i thought nothing of it and im also aware that nectarines have naturally occuring stones, which asda customer services pointed out!i have eaten hundreds of nectarines before and also have never had any problems with my teeth. i asked asda to refund the dental bill (worth a try) which was £30 but they said no. therefore should i put this down to my misfortune or does anyone have any other suggestions to get a refund. i realise its a small amount to most people but to me its relevant.many thanks for any help offered

Just my opinion, but biting down onto a stone inside a fruit cant be blamed on the seller, how far would it go? Someone choking on a chicken bone and sueing the butchers? I think you should just be more carefull next time.

this is a wind up is it not

[Lula]

has got to be!

Asda are notorious for this. I bought a banana and peeled it before eating it, and threw the skin on the floor. Later I slipped on said skin and injured my back so I will, of course, be suing them because of this. Nowhere on the banana was there any warning labels telling me not to put the skin on the floor in case I slipped on it.

It's not a wind up, don't listen to the others, go the whole way to the hight court.

Jesus wept - you chipped a tooth on a bit of fruit

 

Mind you I bet one of the Ambulance Chasers would take this on

I agree take them for everything they have!!! injury lawyers for you!! I hate it when you hurt yourself on fruit. It happened to me with a grape once, it was meant to be seedless I am sueing for £80 mil.

 

Damm this one cracked me up! Can I sue CAG for allowing this? I hurt myself laughing

I'd try taking Mr Del Monte to the Small Claims Court

[dx100uk]

i dunno actually

i'd be happy to represent the piece of fruit accused of causing this damage to a human.

i think it needs to be 'squashed' as soon as possible....
