Depends on the type of information we are searching as to the resource used.  Most companies which buy this type of information from others are only permitted to do so by showing a license allowing us to have this information for our business use.  There are very few resources which are free.\nNorthwest Investigation\nemma____@yahoo.com

Thats impossible to say because you'd have to provide use with your dietary information. It is also dependent on how fast your metabolism is.

probably the law? if you saw your work in a magazine, that producer/publisher would not only look really bad, but they'd be in some serious trouble. You could sue for theft of property...they dont want to deal with that stuff, i imagine!

You need to check with your County Health Department for this information.  Since you did not provide your state or city, I can not check this out for you.  But, just type in your county name and Health department into yahoo or google search and see if their site comes up.  I know my county health department posts all of the food regulations on their site.  Hope this helps and good luck.

It today's society, one can sue another indivudual over anything. I believe that if a person used a product that was notoriously hot (they toucehd a hot pan after cooking), then they are an idiot and do not deserve to revieve money from their own stupidity. Also, it is common asumtion that if an individual touches something hot then they break contact between the apendage/body part and the hot object as soon as possible, as to avoid any major burns.

No. Cite your sources so you know the info comes from a reliable source

Well, it depends on how bad you got it and if you can prove it was that restaurant. It's hard to actually prove it ya know? People get food poisoning all the time, but can never prove it was a certain restaurant.

First, you would need to prove that all these people feel ill from the same, not similar, food from the same lot number. If all these people became ill from the same lot number and a Motion is presented before the Court to deem this as a Class Action, then is it can be done. Otherwise, each individual can file their own lawsuit against the corporation for a tort. In addition, it may not be the product, it may be the manufacturing plant. \n\nKeep in mind, however, that each jurisdiction has its own rules.\n\nGood Luck!

As long as you didn't consume the roach get sick and die, you have no type of lawsuit.  Write the company and explain in detail how you found the roach when you opened up the can of peas.  I am sure they will, in turn, check their quality control, and see if any other such complaints have been received.  The company will more than likely send you coupons(s) toward a new can of fresh peas.

It can also be how it was stored or carried home.  Seafood is like pork and chicken.  If the preparer gets it over a certain temperature than the food will begin to grow enzymes that may cause such illnesses like the GI distress.  So you know if the meat stayed out for an extensive amount of time from the store to home?  The grocer will only have to assume liability to the person who purchased the product.  Food poisoning is very common if you are not watching and preparing food at correct temps.  Keep that in mind while doing your research on who should be at fault.

If you sue over a battery leaking, then I will sue because I got onions on my hamburger when I asked for no onions.  \n\nKeep it up and you lawsuit happy people will make everything too expensive to own, except to the lawyers who make all the money.

You have probably noticed, particularly if you like Tuna that some states, namely CA, like to make companies put warnings on their foods, that go something like, "The State of CA has determined that Tuna contains Mercury, a poisonous chemical, blah, blah." Manufacturers don't like that 1) because they have to keep up on every state's laws about such things if they want to sell all over the country, which can be difficult, but more importantly 2) they don't want to scare consumers into not buying their food. So, in the guise of fixing the first problem, by making it illegal for states to impose restrictions on manufacturers, the Republican Congress actually eliminated the second problem.\n\nThis poses no problem for people with allergies or preferences, particularly because Congress passed a law earlier requiring all food to have clear labels mentioning whether or not the food contains any of the major allergens.

you can sue, but you won't get anything unless you can prove that actual harm was caused to you. that's the case for any suit. i had a case where a woman found a baked roach in her bag of cheetos but she didn't win anything because she couldn't prove that any damage had been caused to her.
