Pregnant woman sues eatery after she found the Cook lost fingertip in her salad

A pregnant California woman is suing the popular Applebee's restaurant after she found a bloody fingertip in her salad.

Cathleen Martin tells The Tribune in San Luis Obispo that she was with her husband and child at the restaurant in December and everyone ate from her Chinese chicken salad.

Attorney Eric Traut of Santa Ana says the manager confirmed the fingertip belonged to a cook.

A letter from Applebee's says the restaurant can't force the cook to undergo tests, but a spokesman says the cook has volunteered to undergo screening.

The pregnant woman is suing for unspecified damages, medical expenses and lost income.
