Celebrity Lanes

On December 7th, 2012 my pregnant wife and our children ate lunch together at Jackson’s at Celebrity Lanes after going bowling. My wife and young daughter (then, just 12 months old) shared the fish and chips. They still had food leftover, so they had it packed up and brought it home to me. I ate the remainder of their leftovers when they got home.



Shortly thereafter my daughter and wife became violently ill. A couple of hours following the start of their illness, I also became sick. After a few hours of intense vomiting and diarrhea, my wife called her OBGYN. As she was unable to hold down any liquids at all, she was risking severe dehydration for both herself and our unborn baby. Her doctor advised her to go to the emergency room to receive IV fluids, and to run tests to eliminate any other possibilities besides food poisoning.



While at the Emergency Room, my wife was given multiple bags of IV fluids and the doctors ran a number of tests to rule out all other possibilities besides food poisoning. She was discharged a number of hours later, after all of the tests came back negative, thus leading to a diagnosis of food borne illness from the physician. Thankfully, my daughter and I were able to avoid trips to the ER, however, the situation was clearly much more serious for my wife due to her pregnancy.



The charges for my wife’s visit to the ER totaled $1,643.55. We have requested that Celebrity Lanes pay for the expenses we incurred as a result of their food. They have refused to do so even after being furnished with our original receipt, and all of the medical records including lab results, and the physician’s report concluding a diagnosis of food borne illness.



We’ve been very disappointed by Celebrity Lanes’ lack of both integrity and sympathy. Please beware of patronizing Celebrity Lanes.
