"A police officer from Sidney and his family won $40,000 from a restaurant that served them food tainted with an employee’s spit and urine.
Officer Keith Andrew and his wife said in the lawsuit that a Taco Bell employee urinated and spit in food served to them and their children in October 2005. "
"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A 21-year-old female left a Burger King drive-through and became sick after taking a bit out of her sandwich. She went back to the store to complain, but began having seizures and was rushed to the hospital. At the same restaurant, Ernest McHenry had just sat down to eat his Burger King fish sandwich when he found a blue pill wedged in the bun when he removed it to add some salt and pepper. He immediately showed everyone what he had found. The pill turned out to be hydrocodone. Police would later arrest Woody Duclos, a Burger King employee, and charge him with poisoning food with intent to kill or injure a person. They would also arrest his co-worker, Bryant Jones, for selling him the drugs. Police believe Duclos poisoned the food because he was pissed about a recent suspension for misconduct."
About the feces, more than once:
Utah: "A new lawsuit has been filed against Taco Bell restaurant just months after the company settled a series of lawsuits out of court following a 1995 hepatitis outbreak.
In the suit, filed Wednesday in 3rd District Court, an anonymous couple and their 10-year-old son allege the boy found feces in a soft-shelled taco bought at a drive-up window at the Cottonwood Heights Taco Bell, 1962 E. Fort Union Blvd. (7000 South).On June 29, the boy's mother bought a taco meal at the restaurant and brought it home for her son to eat. The boy had eaten one taco and most of a second one when he found a "blob of excrement" about the size of a "smashed junior mint" among pieces of food that had fallen on the wrapper, said Tad Draper, the family's attorney.
From the archive
•Another 29 test positive for TB exposure – June 1, 1998
•Soap is key to fighting hepatitis A – June 1, 1997
•Taco Bell settles most suits over hepatitis outbreak in S.L. – April 22, 1997
The boy "became violently ill when he discovered the taco to contain feces, and vomited," the lawsuit states.
A Salt Lake City-County Health Department investigation confirmed the specimen was fecal matter but did not determine whether it was human."
There was another one in the 90's around Portland, OR. And I have heard of others, not sure if they are urban legend or not.
