A New Jersey woman sued JetBlue for allegedly serving her a 'frozen solid' ice cream sandwich that caused her to fracture one of her front teeth.
Kiara Quinonez claimed the flight crew gave her a Nightingale brand strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwich during an August 20 flight from New York's JFK Airport to Charles De Gaulle Airport in Paris, France.
The lawsuit argued that the sweet treat was 'at a temperature below what is reasonable or safe for consumption' and Quinonez was not warned 'of the dangerously cold temperature and solid state of the ice cream sandwich she was served.'
According to the lawsuit, Quinonez sustained 'severe and permanent bodily injuries' from biting into the ice cream sandwich, adding that she continues to incur expenses for ongoing treatment.
She is being represented by Christopher S. Fraser of the Dweck Law Firm, who demanded a jury trial to determine how much JetBlue should pay for the alleged damages.

Do people say you are full of bologna? š
The product, as Madison Avenue could rightly point out, is an ‘ICE’ cream sandwich.
Could it get any clearer than that? They literally spelled it out for her.
No good deed goes unpunished
Won’t even get peanuts now.
That’s baloney!
:)
Yes but that was before the ice cream sammich incident
The customer was contributorily negligent, but McDonald’s was certainly at fault. The store made the coffee something like 40 degrees hotter than they were supposed to so they wouldn’t have to make it as often if it cooled down. The woman was burned so badly it almost killed her and she needed skin grafts on her privates. They were on notice that their coffee was dangerously hot, but they kept choosing the lazy way.
IIRC she only wanted her medical expenses covered initially until McDonalds blew her off. It was not frivolous.
I heard JetBlue changed over to using cold outside air as a source to freeze their frozen food products. I would imagine temperatures at 30,000 feet makes for a really cold ice cream sandwich.
Safety?
Coffee is hot. Knives are sharp. Alcohol can kill you. And on and on and on. We do not live in a safe world as defined by the Liebeck lawsuit.
Safety was not the goal of that lawsuit. Going after deep pockets was their objective. And they succeeded.
Twat did you say?
Or got eaten š
I think she is entitled to a major cash award.
Of course this dopey dame is from New Jersey.
Hey lady, it would have gotten softer if you had just waited a few minutes before stuffing your face with it!
Considering the small amount that McDonald’s first offered, I think it wound up a case of just compensation for the costs and suffering incurred.
Driving a car can kill you. Let me know when someone you love dies because the manufacturer of a vehicle didn’t ensure proper quality control.
I donāt think that it ever was.
“I keep telling people that I was injured by a room temperature bologna sandwich, but no one believes me.”
I believe you ClearCase, I’ve been in jail too.
“Do you believe that merchants donāt need to take any precautions or responsibility to ensure the safety of their products?”
Stop selling hot coffee?
Yes. People mocking that case or bringing it up by not knowing the actual details disturb me. What happened to that poor woman was unconscionable.
It was the lawyers who ruined America.
Stop selling coffee that you allow to get TOO hot.
(I doubt you brew coffee at home that gets to the point where it will cause 3rd degree burns.)
Gluteny is one of the deadly sins.
