(West Jordan-AP) -- A West Jordan woman's soup wasn't 'M'm! M'm! Good!'. Now she's suing.

Tina Keeney says she found a human tooth in her son's Campbell's Chicken Noodle Soup.

She had just finished her own bowl of soup when she saw her 13-month old son playing with a hard, white object.

She called the New Jersey-based soup company who offered to pay for the can of soup, plus a little extra, and told her to send the object to them.

Instead, she called her lawyer.

Tests found the tooth was a molar and it appeared to be cut in half during processing.

Further tests show it didn't belong to anyone in Keeney's family.

Keeney was mostly worried about what her son could catch from the tooth. But doctors say he should be fine.

Keeney's suing for unspecified damages.

I'm going to sue the woman for suing the soup company.

Maybe it was made by a Sous Chef?

Is she a Soux Indian?

See ya Sue-n :p

she probably saw the tooth and said "I can sue and get rich"

How is she going to prove that the tooth came from the soup? She could have gotten it from someone else and cut it in half.

The only way she can prove it is if another person found the other half of the tooth in their soup.

A decade or so ago, the company would have flown a rep out there with a pretty big "STFU" package and we wouldn't have heard a peep about this. Now companies are getting tight-fisted and consumers are just flat out greedy. What a world.

i agree, I think this is lame... suing for damages... please. As a kid, he probably put twice as disgusting things in his mouth. She should just get some free soup and that is it.

I wonder if we all should sue food and beverage companies, seeing as the FDA allows a certain percentage of insect "debris" to be allowed in most food item processing. That's right, those herbs and seasonings aren't always what you think they are. Or maybe we should sue the FDA.
