Milk may not always do a body good, if this story has any truth to it.  From Jason Riley with the Courier Journal:

A Louisville family filed a lawsuit Monday against Wal-Mart, claiming they found a dead mouse in a milk container they had been drinking from for three days.



The lawsuit, filed in Jefferson Circuit Court, alleges that Robert and Rosalind Grant and their 23-month-old granddaughter sought medical attention and treatment in May after finding the mouse.



The child had blood in her stool from drinking the tainted milk, according to the suit. It also claims the Grants have suffered embarrassment, humiliation and emotional distress.



Claims made in filing a lawsuit present only one side of the case. A call to Wal-Mart officials was not immediately returned.



According to the suit, the Grants bought the milk May 1 at a Sam?s Club ? which is owned by Wal-Mart ?at 1401 Alliant Ave. and the container hadn?t been tampered with.



On May 5, the family opened the milk and drank from it for three days before Rosalind Grant ?discovered a dead mouse? in the container, the suit says.



?This has been a traumatic experience for the Grants,? said Lexington attorney William Davis, who is representing the family. ?? They were completely shocked.?



Davis said the family took the gallon of milk and the mouse to the health department and filed a written complaint. The family has stored the mouse and milk in their freezer, he said.



A manager at the Sam?s Club declined to comment and referred calls to Wal-Mart. The suit also names Ohio-based Superior Dairy Inc., which provides milk to Wal-Mart.



The suit is seeking compensatory and punitive damages and a trial by jury.
