NEW YORK (WKRC) - A woman sued McDonald's after she was allegedly served food "wholly unfit for human consumption" that led to her being severely injured.

According to a complaint obtained by the Independent, Yvette Hinds filed a lawsuit on May 26 claiming that on May 25, 2023, she was served a contaminated McMuffin from a McDonald's location in Manhattan.

Hinds' lawsuit said that, unbeknownst to her, the item contained "contaminants, poisons, toxins, parasites, bacteria, germs and/or organisms which would and did cause various serious personal injuries."

The McMuffin was reportedly "not reasonably safe, good, sound, fit, proper, healthful, wholesome food," but instead was "contaminated, tainted, poisonous, injurious and wholly unfit for human consumption."

Although the injuries and illnesses Hinds' suffered were not specifically named, the lawsuit said her "physical, nervous and mental systems were seriously and permanently injured by such contaminated food" resulting in "several operations, procedures and treatments."

"Solely as a direct consequence of the consumption of the food aforesaid, plaintiff Yvette Hinds was caused to incur great expense for medical care and treatment, and will continue to incur great expense for medical care and treatment in the future," the complaint read.

Hinds demanded monetary damages from McDonald's and the specific franchise that served her the McMuffin.

I’m not one of them but some would say that has always been the description of McDonalds food.

I prefer the Breakfast Jack. If she’d had one of those, she wouldn’t have these problem

General Corman: Well, you see, Willard, in this war, things get confused out there. Power, ideals, the old morality, and practical military necessity. But out there with these natives, it must be a temptation to be God. Because there’s a conflict in every human heart, between the rational and irration, between good and evil. And good does not always triumph. Sometimes, the dark side overcomes what Lincoln called the better angels of our nature.

That comment was very profound. I think it was because they didn’t give her the food for free.

Good luck proving that. And, no, McDonald’s won’t settle with you…. that would only encourage copycats.

Freeper BlackElk (RIP) was an attorney who actually got $3,000 out of McDonald's decades ago. His client cut himself on a sharp edge of the toilet dispenser in a stall. It was a part you would touch in normal use, but the plaintiff had been trying to figure out the mechanism and cut himself.

BlackElk's approach to McD's was that the dispenser was an "attractive nuisance" and received $3,000 "Go-away" money for his client from McDonald's.
