NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York man claimed in a lawsuit filed on Wednesday that he found a knife with a 7-inch (18-cm) blade baked into the bread of his foot-long "Cold Cut Trio" Subway sandwich.
John Agnesini, 26, a magazine designer, said he had already taken a few bites from the sandwich in late June when he spotted the knife jutting out from the bread's crust. The lawsuit, filed in Manhattan state court, seeks $1 million.
"If I didn't look at it, I don't know what would have happened," said Agnesini. "That's the last thing you think about a sandwich you eat all the time."
A colleague telephoned the chain to complain, but Subway never apologized, he said.
Subway spokesman Kevin Kane said in a statement the company was investigating.
"At Subway restaurants, we take food safety and customer comments very seriously. We are aware of the complaint made and are investigating the facts alleged. As a pending legal matter, we cannot discuss this matter further," said Kane.
The case was filed on public health grounds, but Agnesini's lawyer, Yetta Kurland, also said she was looking into whether the June incident may have been intentional or malicious.

Okay, in my opinion, I think this is a load of crap. First off, they have to cut the bread in half long ways to put the ingredients into the sandwich, I think they'd have noticed a knife baked into the bread. Second, they cut it in half again before they wrap it up, so if they didn't notice the knife when cutting it long ways, they definitely would have noticed it this way. Not to mention a knife that size would probably cause the bread to feel hard. I can't believe that anyone would be that clueless to not feel a knife baked into bread.
I heard this story on the news here this morning on the way to work. I don't think it was possible, but hey, that's just me. Didn't stop me from getting a footlong sub on the way home.
