Woman Says She Found Fingertip In Applebee's Salad

POSTED: 7:29 pm EDT June 28, 2005

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Louisiana woman is suing the Applebee's restaurant chain after she allegedly found a human fingertip in her salad.

May Johnson filed a lawsuit Friday, seeking unspecified damages. She claims she became violently ill after finding a fingertip in a take-out salad last year.

Johnson's attorney Michael Darnell said his client hasn't been able to eat at restaurants since, and is in counseling for "anxieties." He said he's keeping the fingertip in his office freezer. As for why it took a year to file suit, Darnell said they didn't know the extent of her medical and other damages.

An Applebee's spokeswoman said the company doesn't comment on pending litigation. But TheSmokingGun.com reported that an employee allegedly sliced off a chunk of his finger while cutting chicken and that the severed portion was unable to be recovered because it landed in a carry out order. The site reported that the worker was fired for failing to follow food safety procedures.

The case echoes a claim put forth against Wendy's in March.

A Las Vegas woman claimed she'd found a fingertip in a bowl of chili. But the woman was eventually charged with conspiracy to commit fraud and other crimes, after DNA tests linked the fingertip to a man who knew her husband.

I'm withholding comment cause I think this is made up.
 
Wonder what that would taste like?

In fact, I wonder how many times that has happened, but the people chowin' down fail to notice that there's a finger in their finger food?

Chew on that thought for a while...
 
My brother lost a good bit of the end of his thumb in a slicing machine while working at a pizza restaurant. I can't remember if they ever found it.
 
Another one?

I like Applebee's fried chicken salad!!
tastes like chicken..

Morgunda, where'd your brother work?
 
Did someone get fired at Applebee's?

I find this just as hard to believe as the Wendy's story (where I was proven right lol).

I was working in a resteraunt when someone lost their finger to a slicer. There was a LOT of blood, and the lady didn't exactly just go on with her business. The bin of lettuce she was chopping was dumped out and scrounged through until they found the remaining finger. An ambulance was summoned. The whole area, and the equipment, were cleaned with bleach. I personally mopped up the blood off the floor.

In order for this to happen, the person would have had to basically ignore the lost finger! And they actually SERVED the bloody batch of chicken that he was cutting? Get real... i've seen orders get chucked for a hell of a lot less then having someone BLEED on them.

:D
 
I don't know if people noticed this, but it was found in her "take out" salad. Makes it even easier to fake.
 
Yeah how does one slice off a finger and not care?

My dad cut several of his fingers off in a factory accident many, many years ago.

You just don't go "Oh well." and continue preparing chicken.

And as mentioned what about the blood?
