Restaurant Pulls Burgers After Injury

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- Cracker Barrel restaurants said it's "putting out a wide net" as it investigates a possible case of food tampering. 

A woman in South Carolina said she cut her mouth on a piece of metal embedded in a hamburger patty.

The 56-year-old woman was taken to a hospital in Myrtle Beach, S.C., over the weekend bleeding from her mouth.

The restaurant manager said he found part of a razor blade in a half-eaten hamburger on her plate. 

The chain said it removed burgers produced on or about that date from all of its more than 300 restaurants. 

The Kansas-based hamburger supplier is also investigating.

A spokesman said "no one should be jumping to conclusions." 

The woman and her husband are retirees. The man said they eat at Cracker Barrel two or three times a week and will continue to do so because it's one of their favorite places.
