Man's suit says he found condom in soup

Posted on: Thursday, 23 July 2009, 16:34 CDT

A California man is suing a restaurant after he allegedly bit into a condom that was in his French onion soup.

Zdenek Philip Hodousek, 50, of Mission Viejo, claims in his Orange County Superior Court suit against Claim Jumper that the restaurant was negligent in making his soup April 12, The Orange County Register reported.

The lawsuit says Hodousek was eating with his family at the restaurant Easter Sunday.

Suddenly he felt what he believed was tough cheese on one side of his mouth, the suit reads. When he could not chew it into pieces, (Hodousek) commented to his family that it felt like rubber. He spit it out, spooned it onto a napkin, at which time his wife said, 'Oh my God, it's a condom.''

Claim Jumper said in a statement Wednesday that it has failed to find evidence supporting Hodousek's claim that the condom was in his soup when it was served to him.

We thoroughly investigated Mr. Hodousek's claim, the statement said. We do not believe Mr. Hodousek's lawsuit has any merit and will fight this allegation.
