touchy subject ..whast shoudl i do?
Not sure if you saw but there has been a recall on a bunch of frozen TOPPS burgers sold in nyc.. Now on sunday my landlord brought me up dinner and after eating TWO burgers( im preggo excuse me being a piggy LOL) i got sever Stomach cramps which were so painful you have no idea. then not to get into details but after about an hour or so of just cramps all hell broke loose and lasted in to teh night...
Now my dh calls and tells me about the recall. i knwo the burgers were frozen.. do i confront them? I know its not their fault but heres my thing what if they WERE NOT the topss that were recalled and i just got sick foom their cooking or whatver. i feel bad we are very friendly with them.. dont know what to do....

I don't think I would say anything. If the burgers were that bad they would have gotten sick too and thrown them out. Maybe they were bad, but maybe you were just sensitive to one of the ingredients. I don't think I would say anything and risk hurting their feelings.

Re: touchy subject ..whast shoudl i do?
I'd mention casually "Ugh, I felt so sick to my stomach the other night! Is something going around?" If they pick up on it and chime in that they were too, then add that maybe it was the burgers...

Re: touchy subject ..whast shoudl i do?
I don't know if I would confront them, because what if it really was just their cooking but if you being sick has lasted for a few day and you are preggo, call your dr to be safe.
Feel better!!!!!

Re: touchy subject ..whast shoudl i do?
What do you expect to gain by asking them if they were TOPPs brand?

Re: touchy subject ..whast shoudl i do?
I would just ask them if they've heard about the recall. And then say "That's not what you use is it? Because if it is you should probably throw them out!"
Btw I think the recall is only for Topps that expire in June 2008, so even if they buy that brand it might not have been an effected lot.

Re: touchy subject ..whast shoudl i do?
I don't think you should ask them. If you got sick, they would have gotten sick too and thrown them away. Chances are too if they were infected with e.coli you would have had a lot more sympoms than cramps (vomiting, etc.) I don't really see what asking them will do for you.

If it was me, I would ask.
I would just mention to them "please don't take offense, but to put my mind at ease can I ask if you used TOPPS burgers". Than explain what happened. How you were sick after eating them. You can also say "if it wasn't topps than I would like to know what brand they were that way I know NOT to buy them myself".
I would think they would understand.

Sorry, i didn't realize the recall was for ecoli. There was no mention of ecoli in the OP and I assumed from the post that the OP is no longer feeling sick (which she likely wouldn't be if she had ecoli -- and I know b/c my DH had it... been there done that). I think it was a fair question.
If she's still feeling sick and thinks that it could be serious, then by all means ask and get to the doctor IMMEDIATELY. (Ecoli is NOTHING to fool around with) If she's just curious why she got sick and she's feeling okay now, then I don't know what good it would be to ask if they were TOPPs burgers. Either way, going to the doctor would be a good idea.
I thought it was a fair question - I'm not trying to be obnoxious.

Re: touchy subject ..whast shoudl i do?
You have no reason to apologize. I'm sorry if my post came off the wrong way.
I do hope you're feeling better. If it will give you peace of mind, of course ask. I wouldn't think most people would be offended. Embarassed, perhaps, but hey, it wasn't their fault!!
