What to do if I broke a tooth on pulled pork that I ate at a company barbeque?
My work had barbeque catered in for a training session; It was pulled pork,. When I was eating my sandwich I bit into a bone and broke my tooth. Is the caterer responsible since they processed the meat? I called them and the manager said he would have to speak to the owner and call me back. He said that they use boneless pork butt. That was a week ago and no call back yet. I have the bone.

If the pork was supposed to be boneless, if the caterer buys it that way, it may be the caterer's supplier who is utimately responsible. Try to settle this with the caterer for the cost of your dental restoration and a little something for your pain and suffering. If the caterer wants to, he can sue the supplier to indemnify him as to whatever he paid you.
