NY State
There is a large private company based in upstate NY that places their label on many products in their grocery store chain.
Today we discovered a 3/4 inch machine washer at the bottom of our half gallon of store-labeled apple cider.
Here are the circumstances: We served it to ourselves and 2 children. The taste was poor. Later we began pouring it again and noted something sliding around. This was likely not noticed prior because the plastic bottle was mostly full, absorbing any noise it would have made.
The main dangers encountered were the contaminants to the cider, and the possibility that someone could have ingested this. The main issue is a breach in quality control.
I have little money or free time to deal with lawsuits. What would be a good approach here? The company obviously would not want this information getting out, but I would not want merely a lip-service apology with a replacement half-gallon.
Please advise. Thank you.
