Flying Shrimp Kills Colaitis Lawsuit Pending

A shrimp a hibachi chef tossed at a man eating at a Japanese steakhouse ultimately led to the diner's death, his family claims in a $10 million US wrongful death lawsuit against the restaurant chain Benihana

Jerry Colaitis, 43, wrenched his neck when he ducked to avoid the shrimp in the chain's Munsey Park restaurant, lawyer Andre Ferenzo said in opening statements Wednesday.
