Woman sues restaurant over condom in soup

 

A democratic hippie woman is suing a restaurant in California after finding a rolled-up condom in her soup.

 

Laila Sultan was eating clam chowder at McCormick & Schmick's Seafood Restaurant in Irvine, in February last year.

 

She said after spitting out something rubbery that she'd bitten into, she spent 15 minutes vomiting in a restaurant toilet.

 

The 48-year-old has since seen a psychiatrist and taken medication for depression and anxiety. Sultan and three friends are suing, claiming negligence and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

 

The restaurant sued its clam supplier, but a judge ruled against McCormick & Schmick's.

 

At the forthcoming trial in January, the restaurant chain will argue neither the restaurant nor its staff was the source of the condom.

 

The restaurant's lawyer Patrick Stark told the Los Angeles Times: "Either it came from (the four women) or it was thrown in as a practical joke by another patron at the restaurant."

 

He also said the condom "was clearly unused." Sultan told the newspaper the women have tested negative for HIV.
