Can I get sued for putting bleach in someone&#39;s drink?
<p>I had a slushie order, and we were out of water. There was a bottle of clear liquid, which I mistook as water. I put in around 3 ounces. Later, My boss informed me that the clear liquid under the water can was not back-up water, but BLEACH. The problem was that they informed me AFTER I had already served the customer! Can either I or the restaurant get sued for this?  ( I do not know what is the percentage of concentration.)</p>

<p>Depending on the bleach, you could have just killed the customer, so why in hell are you worried about being sued (to which the answer is a solid “yes”, by the way)?  Most bleaches are a horrific poison for which there is little recourse once swallowed - it can easily result in death or permanent life altering injuries.</p>
<p>Being arrested for manslaughter or assault is a real likelihood here, both yourself and your manager.  Get legal advice, now.</p>
