Douglas bought the bread on September 22, 2025, at the Walmart store located at 1575 Space Center Drive in Colorado Springs, per the lawsuit.
The loaf of MarketSide-branded bread allegedly had a 'sell-by' label placed directly over its preparation instructions.
This included the detail that the bread was actually a 'take and bake' product, rather than ready-to-eat.
A Colorado man sued Walmart after he claimed to suffer 'severe' injuries from eating raw bake-to-eat bread that allegedly expanded in his stomach.
Jordan T. Douglas, of El Paso County, said he spent three days at UCHealth Memorial Hospital Central after ingesting the bread from the bog box retailer.
Douglas filed a personal injury lawsuit on Tuesday in district court, alleging the bread sent him rushing to the hospital after repeatedly vomiting.
He claimed medical imaging showed a 'gastrointestinal obstruction caused by the expansion of uncooked dough', per the complaint obtained by Courthouse News.
He also alleged Walmart obscured the product's preparation instructions with a 'sell-by' label.
As a result, Douglas said he believed the bread was 'substantially baked' and already safe to consume.
He ate the loaf during his lunch break but soon developed 'severe abdominal pain and related symptoms.'
Douglas accused Walmart of 'altering product packaging' in a way that created an 'unreasonable risk of harm to customers.' He is seeking compensatory damages.

He isn’t a seagull and the partially baked bread isn’t Alka Seltzer.
If you’ve seen this bread, it actually does look pre-baked. Now, the fact that it is in an air sealed bag should give you a clue that it’s not like the other “bagged” bread.
This is a bad product for WalMart to sell.
“What temperature did he have it set on?”
The oven, or his IQ?
Stupid is as stupid does!
Dang! How did I come up with that phrase???/s
Was the serving size info covered too? I’m sure an entire loaf is not a serving size. Had he only eaten one slice, he would not have ended up bloated.
Evidently, there is no level of stupidity that disqualifies someone from suing for damages that they themselves caused.
Stories like this are why we can no longer have nice things.

Can he prove that?
Did he save the label to present in court?

Deport!
That was my first thought.
I have baked LOTS of bread in my life and it's IMPOSSIBLE to confuse raw bread dough with a baked loaf.
My apologies, I replied to the wrong freeper.

It’s hard to tell these days.
Is this guy retarded?
Big time.
