Zdenek Philip Hodousek, a 50-year-old resident of Mission Viejo, California, has sued a local Claim Jumper restaurant after he found a condom in his French onion soup. Hodousek was chewing on what he believed to be a tough piece of cheese. When he could not break it down in his mouth, he spit it out, only to find out that it was a condom.

Hodousek vomited both in the Claim Jumper bathroom and parking lot after the incident. He has had difficulty sleeping ever since and has experienced bouts of severe anxiety, wondering if he has contracted a dangerous disease from chewing the used condom.

Female DNA was found in the condom. Hodousek has requested that all female Claim Jumper employees submit to a DNA test to determine if any of them are a match for the DNA found in the condom. However, Claim Jumper has not been very compliant with this request.

Hodousek's premises liability lawsuit charges Claim Jumper with negligence in allowing a condom to enter their soup. It is uncertain how many other customers ate French onion soup from the same container that evening. Most likely, these individuals had no knowledge that they had consumed soup containing a used condom.

The Claim Jumper chain denies all wrongdoing. They claim that while Hodousek found a "foreign object" in his soup, there is no evidence to prove that this "object" was the same used condom that he brought to a lab for testing.
