Chopt restaurant sued after woman allegedly chewed 'human finger' mixed with salad
A Connecticut woman sued the restaurant chain Chopt after she allegedly chewed a human finger while trying to eat her salad.
Allison Cozzi, who lives in Connecticut, filed the lawsuit against Chopt after she alleges that a human finger was in her salad while eating at the Mount Kisco, New York location on April 7, 2023.
"She was chewing on a portion of a human finger that had been mixed in to, and made a part of, the salad," the lawsuit states.
A manager at the Chopt location had accidentally cut off her left pointer finger while using a knife to cut arugula, the lawsuit alleged.
