A lawsuit filed Monday against Waffle House claims a South Carolina woman choked, bled and vomited after consuming eggshells in her to-go order.
Leslie Brown, a Hampton County woman, ordered the “unreasonably dangerous” All-Star meal from the Waffle House at 8208 Two Notch Rd. in Columbia on July 5, 2020, according to the lawsuit. She dug in, unaware there were eggshell fragments in her food.
“She bit into this eggshell substance and, through no fault of her own, consumed and digested eggshell fragments that were sold and served to her” by the Waffle House, according to the lawsuit filed in Richland County.
The woman “suffered a choking episode, lacerated gums, bleeding gums, sore throat, bruised throat, headaches, vomiting, nausea, and other ill effects.”
Waffle House’s “recklessness” is to blame, according to the suit, and Brown is seeking damages for medical expenses, pain and suffering, mental anguish and emotional distress, fear and anxiety, among other damages.
Waffle House declined to comment, citing company policy.
Brown is suing Waffle House for negligence and strict liability. No dollar amounts are given in the lawsuit.
She is being represented by Patrick W. Carr, an attorney based in Hilton Head Island.

She must have INHALED that food, for her to not notice before it was too late, resulting in the alleged injuries.
Give her a coupon for a free meal as compensation.
Crunchy Frog?!!
(Someone please post that pic of ‘Ashleigh the lion’ standing beside the easel with the “All whites are racist!”.)
Sally sues sea shells by the sea shore.
Amazing what passes for news nowadays.
“Ma’am, do you always go to breakfast at a restaurant with three pounds of crushed eggshells in your purse?
Our cameras have provided unexpected information.”
This kind of stuff makes you never want to have a business that serves the general public.
You need a business you can decide who to work with. You are the one that turns down or accepts.
Thats what people like this drive folks to do.
I have to say, I HATE egg shells in food, and crunching one is enough to put me off the meal completely (unless I am camping, and then I chew slowly and spit when I get them!)
And what kind of chicken makes egg shells that would do that? Sounds like ostrich eggshells or something...
I hope Ms. Brown suffered no lasting injury from this incident.
Must have been shocking and quite unpleasant.
Just wondering, but I’d like to see a pic of the person who supposedly swallowed the eggshells - which would have been obvious to anyone chewing their food.
Oh Please. What a farce.
“suffered a choking episode, lacerated gums, bleeding gums, sore throat, bruised throat, headaches, vomiting, nausea, and other ill effects.”
Geez, at some point you would think she ‘d had to have stopped chewing.

Sounds like she should stop ordering take out... after a night out ...sucking anyone off.
I hate that when I get egg shell in my eggs.
What was this woman eating? A food containing eggshells (at least the waffles had fresh, not powdered eggs in them!) or the makings of an IED? The way she describes it, sounds like the latter. Pardon me if I don’t believe her claim.
Well, when one dines at Awful House, one should not expect gourmet vittles!
She is doing what her lawyer told her to do.
