Man sues for rodent tooth in his peanuts?

A Illinois man is suing Kraft Foods, claiming he found what appeared to be a rodent tooth in a package of peanuts he bought last year.
Carl Cornett filed the lawsuit in Madison County in Belleville. He alleges he bought the Planters brand peanuts at an O'Fallon store last August and was eating a handful of them at his home when he bit into what he described as a non-human animal tooth.

The lawsuit claims Cornett became physically and mentally ill, worrying that he might have exposed himself to disease.
