Where are you located, Lisa?

What damages have you suffered?

What harm to your health? Unless you injest the battery, not much is going to happen to you. You can't sue for what MIGHT have happen, only what did.

You can certainly complain to the manager or Speedway corporate. Maybe they'll send you some free drink coupons or something.

Who poured the drink? Most Speedways I've been to are self serve for fountain drinks. Why would anybody else be responsible?

I have never been in a Speedway where the fountain drinks are anything but self-serve, either. And the cups are in dispensers where the cups are stored in stacks that would not allow for a battery (or anything else) to be placed in one.

There is much to question about the "battery in drink" claims made here.

Lisa, you should know that publicly making false "personal injury" claims about an identified or identifiable business can easily get you sued. A business reputation is valuable. Harming that reputation by communicating false statements (without proof of the truth of the statements) is a big and potentially extremely costly mistake.

What sort of battery was it, Lisa?

AA battery

AA battery

Did you somehow eat it because unless you did or it was leaking there was nothing harmful. Even if it was leaking it isn't likely there was enough of the materials from inside the battery available to ingest to cause you harm.



Can you explain how you took a cup from stacked cup dispenser and never noticed a battery in the cup?

You have such a high hurdle to prove this was not done by you there is nearly no chance of it being believable.

AA battery

What you are describing does not seem logical, based on my experience with Speedway's fountain drinks.

The only way for a self-serve drink at Speedway to contain a battery is for the self-serve customer to serve themselves a battery.

I do not see that you have any legal action to pursue against Speedway that would be successful but I do see a legal action that could be pursued by Speedway against you that would have a better chance of success.

But review all facts with an attorney in your area if you think differently.

We can only go on what has been provided us in the way of information.

I still do not see that you have a supportable legal action against Speedway. If you believe otherwise, consult with an attorney in your area.
