A 65-year-old man from Washington who has been a faithful McDonald’s patron for decades is now suing the restaurant chain for injuries he received after eating a portion of one of their hamburgers. The man’s injuries were so severe, he couldn’t eat for days after the incident.
According to the personal injury lawsuit, the man went to a local McDonald’s to order some food. The first burger he received was cold and squashed. When the man requested a newer, fresher burger, a restaurant employee made a face at him and gave him another.
The man could tell the employee was upset, and when he bit into the burger, he could feel a tingling, burning sensation. He threw away the rest of the burger. When the man awoke the next morning, the inside of his mouth was covered in chemical burns and blisters. After going to the hospital, the man returned to McDonald’s and spoke to another employee.
The second employee said that the earlier employee put bleach and other chemicals on the man’s burger before serving it to him. When the man complained to the McDonald’s corporation, they expressed no remorse and offered no apology.
A defective product can come in any number of different forms. In this case, the man was injured by a dangerous product when he attempted to consume a tainted burger. Since McDonald’s didn’t offer any apology or compensation, the man is going to try and recover compensation for his injuries through a product liability lawsuit.
If you have been injured after consuming or using any sort of defective product, you may be able to recover compensation for your injuries.
