Teenage Boy Finds Finger in Arby's Sandwich

[Hum]

Ryan Hart, a 14-year-old boy from Michigan, had a rude surprise when he bit into his Arby's roast beef sandwich. "I was like, 'that's got to be a finger,'" he told the Jackson Citizen Patriot. "It was just nasty."

Reportedly, a restaurant employee cut off her finger with a meat slicer while preparing the meal. :| She left her station to deal with the emergency, and other employees, who were unaware of the injury, continued to complete the order.

"Somebody loses a finger and you keep sending food out the window," said the teen's mom, Jamie Vail. "I can't believe that." She added that following the gruesome discovery, her son was "traumatized," couldn't eat or sleep, and had been prescribed medication.

John Gray, Arby's vice president of corporate communications, provided Yahoo! Shine with a statement saying, "Arby?s wants to reassure customers that we are committed to providing quality food in a safe and healthy environment. We are deeply concerned and apologetic to the guest involved in this unfortunate incident....An isolated and unfortunate accident occurred in a franchisee?s Jackson, Michigan restaurant in which an employee was injured. Upon learning of the incident, the franchisee?s restaurant team shut down food production and thoroughly cleaned and sanitized the restaurant. The franchisee fully cooperated with the Health Department during the investigation, and the restaurant was given the approval to remain open."

What happened to the girl who lost her finger!!!!!!!!!!????? I'm guessing that it was too late to attach because the staff were too incompetent to recover the finger. How can a restaurant continue working after such a serious accident like that and how come the do not have adequate safety procedures to prevent accidents. I hope that the employee sues for restaurant for even more than the boy does. Biting into a finger is nothing compared to the actual losing of a finger.

Also it's pretty disgusting that the news reporter is more concerned for the boy than the girl.

I live in South Bend, Indiana. Because of this, I have a natural hate for Michigan people. Thay can't drive, play football, or prepare food w/o fingers.

strange, my first reaction would have been to look for my finger and put it on ice. I might want to have it reattached, just in case I would miss it ;)

Probably a bit of a overblown story, more like a fingertip instead of a complete finger. And traumatized my ass, that's just to get more money

This article gives me a strange feeling, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

" couldn't eat or sleep, and had been prescribed medication." Dude you're 14 grow some balls, I saw some one get ejected from a car when they hit a wall and died instantly . I was 12. I didn't need meds, this is just fuel for a lawsuit.

Although holy crap how did no one know that someone sliced their finger off at that place. Did she not make a sound when it happened no one noticed blood anywhere?

I feel more sorry for the girl who completely lost her finger rather than the kid who bit into one.. I mean meds seem a bit extreme... I think a good chat with a decent parent or psychologist would solve the issue.
