Do you not chew your food?
How does this huge piece of plastic get through?
You ask what you should do further.... what is it you want to do?

You should always immediately seek medical attention if your life is in danger.
If you have NO proof, you can forget a lawsuit.
You are always FREE to speak to four or five local attorneys.
They offer consultation for free.
If your case has merits, they'll agree to represent you on a contingency basis.
That means, if you get paid, they take 1/3. If you don't get paid, they take nothing.

Who did you talk to at the company? Just what did they say?

First get checked out by your doctor & see what the dr. says about your throat. You are always free to talk to a lawyer or two - they will tell you if you have any type of case.

You do not appear to have suffered any long term damage. Your story does not make sense if you ate normally. I don't think you hit the lawsuit lottery and will just need to suck this one up. I would make sure to use mouth wash to avoid infection.

I wonder if the OP understands when CPR should and shouldn't be performed on a choking victim.

The story doesn't "fit", sorry.

CPR would likely force the object further into throat if it did anything at all.

 

[Betty3]

Right. The security guard apparently didn't know what to do so decided to try CPR before noticing something in OP's mouth per OP? -- not a good idea if true. Maybe OP didn't mean CPR?

First thing one trained in CPR must do is make sure the airway is clear.
