A compensation of over £2,000 was awarded to a woman from Leeds, after she bit into a rock hard object embedded in an oven chip.
The incident occurred when Susan Stapylton, 61, from Richmond Hill, in Leeds, West Yorkshire, was tucking in to a plate of Aunt Bessie’s oven chips when she bit into the foreign object, causing a filling to fall out.
According to reports, the woman’s filling, which was in a double wisdom tooth and had only been fitted a few days earlier, and as she was awaiting an operation to remove nasal polyps, which had affected her ability to breathe properly through her nose, these cannot be immediately replaced.
Initially, Mrs. Stapylton was offered a £5 voucher by Heinz the owners of the Aunt Bessie brand, but was eventually awarded £2,000 after seeking legal advice.
