NEW YORK (WABC) -- A tourist from Germany says when he bit into his steak at the Waldorf-Astoria, there was a used tampon in it.

Axel Sanz-Claus, a tourist from Germany was enjoying a perfect visit to New York City until his dinner Friday night.

He ordered steak and spinach from the Bull and Bear Steak House at the Waldorf Astoria.

Sanz-Claus spoke exclusively to Eyewitness News claiming that hidden in his food was a tampon, a blood soaked tampon.


"I had it in my mouth, chewed it and nearly swallowed it," said Sanz-Claus. He adds, "This is so disgusting, I've felt sick ever since."

This diner says he rinsed his mouth with brandy then went to the bathroom to vomit. He says the hotel then called an ambulance. Sanz-Claus claims the doctor in the emergency room cut the object in half and confirmed it was a used tampon. New York Presbyterian today confirming he was treated at the hospital

Sanz-Claus says he has not been able to sleep or eat since the episode.

Repulsive enough, just the thought of putting such an object in one's mouth and trying to eat it but this tourist says he now fears he has made himself vulnerable to disease.

He was tested for hepatitis at the hospital and was told to be tested for AIDS in two months.

The Waldorf-Astoria which owns and manages the restaurant, released the following statement. ""We are conducting an internal investigation, but have reason to believe that the circumstances surrounding this incident are highly suspicious. At this time we are not at liberty to provide any additional details."

Bon appetit!

Sounds like he's just looking to start a frivolous lawsuit to me.



Any REAL European dude would have saved it and made tea.

How do you not see that?

Utter crap! Peeps will stoop that low for recognition and large amounts of dosh.

I am SOOOOO sorry, but how the FUCK do you not SEE a damn TAMPON in the preparation of the food? In the presenting of the food? In the cutting of the STEAK & eating the damn food? Was there a string hangin'? Did he not think that was odd? Or did he think that was a string of fat hanging down? I'm grossed the FUCK out but I don't believe this shit @ the same time Good God

Waiter:"Sir how do you like your steak"?

Customer: "bloody as hell"

Did it have a little white bit at one end?

shut it.. I was nearly sick and my friend kept laughing and wanted a closer look.. it was congealed in red curry - at least now I am hoping it was red curry paste..

groos, but he's probably had worse than that in his mouth before.

When going to college a friend of mine found a bloody band-aid in his food. He continued to go there anyway since they were so cheap.

heybaby said:

EXACTLY.

It all depends on what's important to a person.


If one is REALLY cheap, and they find a used tampon in their steak, not only will they continue dining there, if that person happens to be female, she may examine the tampon to see if it's still usable.

In this economy, YOU HAVE TO MAKE tough decisions.
