In before OP is a moron.
Yeah it's not unheard of to be able to eat glass and stuff and be fine but it's certainly dangerous. The difference bw you and your friend could be that he didn't bleed afterwards... Also even if going to the ER saves your life 1% I think it's worth going.

Also I agree with the free money comment. It might be somewhat of a hassle but as much as I have heard about US lawsuits you could def milk them for a nice amount and it should be worth it.

Hope you'll be alright soon!

Vindictive people itt, I get the idea some of you carry around a bag of broken glass and are just waiting for the right opportunity to spike your own drink at some rich guy's dinner party.

afaik this could result in millions of dollars if it ****s you up bad enough etc
I understand that the worse the damage the more they will have to pay OP, but even if there's no damage and no symptoms in a couple days he still could get a nice sum like low-mid 5 figures? Or am I way off here? Like this kind of thing seems pretty dangerous as in he could even die and stuff...

Hypothetical situation: someone endangers you and there's a 10% chance you die. But 90% you'll be alive and with no problems at all. Let's say you bought a product of some kind like OP. Do you get nothing 90% of the time because there's no damage or do you still get a pretty big compenstation since you could have died?

If anything, don't worry about the medical expenses incurred by a visit to the ER. Arizona should at least comp you for that easily, right?

I would think no damage = nothing to be compensated for = no payout
