NY- A prosthetics company wants a midtown Manhattan hotel to foot the bill for allegedly losing a client's artificial appendages.
The Hotel Salisbury on W. 57th St. is being sued because one of its employees allegedly misplaced a bag containing three artificial feet.
The feet - two of which had toes - belonged to a woman who had bought them from Pillet Hand Prostheses, which also insured the limbs.
Now the company, which replaced the woman's lost body parts, wants the Hotel Salisbury to pay its $19,658 tab.
The woman, who was not identified in the Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit, left the feet inside a bag in her 17th-floor hotel room in 2004.
But after a room attendant found the bag and turned it in to the front desk, it was allegedly lost.
Eliot Greenberg, an attorney for the prosthetics company, said he was not aware of how long the patient went without the prosthetics.
"I imagine a foot is very important," he said.
