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.

I appreciate your efforts to accommodate your parishioners.
But I doubt they are purchasing coffee from you through a drive-through window.
Sounds like the ice cream was frozen solid. Not properly warmed in the oven before being served.
I’ve had problems with cold ice cream at Baskin Robins before. They don’t heat theirs, either.
Just froze her arse off.
She could have waited until thawed a little. Can’t fix stupid.
I once broke a tooth on corn flakes. Sometimes, these things happen. I did not sue.
Apparently commercial ice cream makers chill their ice cream to something like -80 degrees, to insure a quick, and hard set. A couple of hours at 0 degrees, in a standard freezer, did not get the temperature up to serving temperature,
Huh?
From several sources, the ideal brewing temperature for coffee is between 195°F (90°C) and 205°F (96°C). The boiling point of water @ normal atmospheric pressure @ sea level is 212°F. That is as hot is it can be in an open container under those conditions. Put in any more heat and you have water boiling out of the container, at no higher a temperature. (If pressurization is involved, you can have steam at a higher temperature - quite a blast under certain circumstances!)
Anyway, the issue here is not the brewing temperature (nominally 200° F, I would guess), but how long you let the product sit to cool to serve it, or how you hold it at serving temperature. And, I suppose, how you prevent mix-ups. I guarantee you a cup of water or coffee @ 200° F can give you a nasty burn.
Note to self: Do not place boiling hot liquid in my crotch.
She only had two teeth and this broke one of them. No chance it was already rotten.
Exactly. Nobody drinks coffee at the temperature that it’s brewed. It needed to sit for awhile.
Let me guess, the victim is a white supremacist.
coffee case had merit, ice cream case not much as far as I can tell.
Yeah, they should have thawed out her ice cream sandwich for her first.
People like you have no idea what happened in that case and shouldnt reference it.
They microwaved cold coffee until it was melting the cup and when it fell on her as they handed it out it boiled her femininity off. That was a situation where a representative of a company went far outside of any responsible guidelines.
Being too stupid to know that frozen things can be hard is entirely on the consumer.
This is how a lot of people make a living. Professional suers. The find a hinky lawyer willing to work a little on commission and get a pretrial go-away settlement. I’d wager she has a bunch of them in her history.
What a pathetic sorry excuse for a human being.
Wasn’t supposed to be shoved and held up there.....but agree, warning label did not specifically say...
