Florida McDonald’s found liable after Happy Meal leaves 4-year-old girl writhing in pain

A jury found that a McDonald's in Florida and its franchise owner are liable after a hot Chicken McNugget led to second-degree burns on a girl after it fell from a Happy Meal and landed on her leg.

A split jury determined last Thursday that the franchise owner of the McDonald's in Tamarac was negligent and that McDonald's USA failed to warn customers about the heat risk of its food, according to the Sun Sentinel.

McDonald's USA was not found to be negligent, and the jury dismissed the argument that the Chicken McNuggets were defective.

Holmes said her daughter began to scream as she was driving and did not realize what was happening until she pulled over and saw the girl's burned thigh, according to the outlet.

The mother took photos of the injury and also recorded the screams of her daughter, who is reportedly autistic. The girl's nugget-induced screams were played in court.

Was the toy surprise too gender-specific?

This is supposedly apic of the burn. Looks more like a cigarette lighter was used.

Hell I can’t remember the last time I was served even warm ones.

Absolutely no way in hell a chicken nugget caused a wound like that. No doubt the nigress preplanned this looking for a payout. Looks more like she burned her poor daughter’s arm with her crack lighter. How the jury bought this bull$4it case is beyond me. But then again this is the clown world we live in now.

you bet your ass it’s over diagnosed. Same reason flu vanished when Covid was around..

Too much money to be made in autistic kids, or the diagnosis at least.

My wife and I were diagnosed “autistic” when we were younger.
No one can tell or even guess unless I tell them.
I know a few other people like that.

Easier to drug kids and pay shrinks then to actually raise children these days.

decades ago wasn’t it McD’s coffee that spilled on a woman and she sued because of burn? hot food has been known about for many years, the mom should make sure of temperature before giving it to young child, mom didn’t do her job.

I in total BS. I have Never had a hot McNugget. After researching, it takes 130 degrees to cause blisters, which is what 2ed degree burns are.
