Daughter Ingested A Metal Staple From Her Walmart Birthday Cake!

Yesterday we purchased a cake from Walmart for my 6 y/o’s birthday. She first bit into the “edible flowers” - she then chipped her tooth, and swallowed not knowing any better. Upon further inspection, each of the ‘edible flowers’ was held to the cake with what appeared to be studded earrings. (I have pictures, and I have a video of her biting into it) - I also have pictures of the other flowers with the metal pieces. No where on the package did it indicate there was metal in the cake, nor did they inform me when I picked it up. I’m being told to take her to the ER to get her stomach pumped, and also go to the dentist to get her chipped tooth fixed - What should I do? Is there a legal process to ensure Walmart will cover all the ER and Dental bills? We’re struggling, as are most of us, and can’t afford an ER trip (high deductible insurance). Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated! (Can’t post it photos on this post, but I have pictures of the metal pieces)

Update: Thank you ALL for the information. Went to an in-network express care and they took an X-Ray onsite (awaiting results, but doc’s first impression stated no abnormalities) - as some of you rightfully pointed out; the medical expense is well worth it to ensure she’s healthy. Called Walmart Corporate and they provided explicit details to go about filing an incident report - if approved, they will likely cover all medical expenses (and hopefully more cause what a freaking Day, y’all). I will also be hiring a highly recognized personal injury lawyer to look at my case. Thank you all so much for your sincere concern, and Valuable information! My daughter is chipper as ever.
