N.C. Man Finds Finger in Frozen Custard

2 hours, 34 minutes ago

WILMINGTON, N.C. - A man who ordered a pint of frozen chocolate custard in a dessert shop got a nasty surprise inside — a piece of severed finger lost by an employee in an accident.

Unlike a recent incident at a Wendy's restaurant in California, no questions of truth have been raised about the finger served up to go at Kohl's Frozen Custard and found later at home by Clarence Stowers.

Officials from the state departments of agriculture and labor went to the shop Monday, and the owner confirmed one of his employees lost part of a finger in an accident with a food-processing machine. It was not immediately clear how the severed finger got into the custard.

Wilmington television station WWAY reported that Stowers found the finger in frozen custard he purchased Sunday night.

Stowers, who did not immediately return calls Monday from The Associated Press, told the station: "I thought it was candy because they put candy in your ice cream ... to make it a treat. So I said, 'OK, well, I'll just put it in my mouth and get the ice cream off of it and see what it is.'"

Stowers said he spit the object out, but still couldn't identify it. So he went to his kitchen, rinsed it off with water — and "just started screaming."

Stowers said he planned to contact a lawyer.

Shop owner Craig Thomas did not immediately return a message left by the AP Monday.

Joe Reardon of the Agriculture Department's food and drug division said state officials closed the shop while the food processing equipment involved in the accident was cleaned and sanitized.

In March, a Las Vegas woman claimed she bit down on a 1 1/2 inch-long finger fragment while dining with her family at a Wendy's restaurant in San Jose, Calif.

Investigators have since called her claim a hoax and charged her last month with attempted grand theft related to millions in dollars of financial losses Wendy's has suffered since news of her claim broke.
I thought this was a copycat hoax until I read the 'severed in an accident' part :lol:

Jeez, you'd think after an accident like that and not finding the missing part that they'd search through all the recently processed food. :vikki:

people need to keep their finger out of the moving blades/belts/chains. Soon the Us will be fingerless, but the protestic's industy will be booming.

Pure coincidence due to carelessness, I wonder? I hope it is not another lawsuit attempt. :vikki:

You see! This is what I've been telling you all along! If you don't know about or understand a thing, you should always put it in your mouth! This guy did it, and now he gets to sue a company for loads of money! Don't you see? It's good for you!

I think that something needs to be done to help Americans with their fingers. It seems to me that they're not attached properly, as they keep falling off. Perhaps we could speak with your government about a possible trade agreement regarding glue and sticky tape?

I can only imagine the man scraming like a girl, then a buddy/family member comes along and asks "What happened?" and the guy goes like "I just licked a finger with my custard!" http://forums.filefront.com/images/smilies/pwned.gif
