GeoYo asked:
Am I entitled to more than that? I wasso very sick that I had explosive diarhea, projectile vomiting, fever, chills,and severe weakness . This went on for three days . At first I thought I had caught some random stomach virus. Then five days later I drank another one and had the same problem!! That’s when I figured out that it was the drink. My question boils down to this…Am I entitled to compensation beyond the purchase price of a six-pack of Ensure? Is there somewhere I can send the last three bottles to be tested for contamination (bacterial or chemical) other than the company who manufactures them? Somehow I think they would be less than honest with their results! Should I just drink another one in the hospital waiting room? I contacted Consumer Reports and they just said to return them to the company. Not what I expected from a company with the consumer’s best interests in mind! Lastly, what about all the hospital patients who’s symptoms were dismissed as their illness?
