Special today: Is that a condom in your soup?
A Mission Viejo man dug into his French onion soup during Easter Brunch at Claim Jumper only to discover it contained a condom, according to papers filed in a lawsuit Tuesday. KTLA, which has a (pretty gross) picture of the alleged condom, reports:
[The customer] says he spit it out into his napkin, at which time his wife said, “Oh my God, it’s a condom.”
After speaking with the server, the restaurant’s general manager, Marc Hadley, came over to the table and explained that the item was a rubber glove used by employees to prepare food and apologized, the documents say.
After further inspection, it was clear the item was not a rubber glove, but clearly a condom, [Philip] Hodousek says.
Claim Jumper, for its part, released the following statement: “We have found no evidence to support any of the allegations in a complaint filed by Mr. Zednek Philip Hodousek against Claim Jumper on July 21, 2009,” with many more details. At the time, KTLA says the restaurant did give Hodousek’s family their meal for free, although it’s hard to believe they finished the meal.
