“Disfigured and scarred” is how one Florida woman described her daughter after she alleged that an order of chicken nuggets from her local McDonald’s was served too hot, resulting in the girl being burned.
The woman, Philana Holmes, and the girl’s father have since filed a lawsuit against McDonald’s and the local franchisee, claiming that the order of six-piece Chicken McNuggets inside their then-4-year-old daughter’s Happy Meal were too hot.
The incident in the lawsuit took place on Aug. 21, 2019, and opening statements were delivered in the case on Tuesday morning.
During a pre-trial deposition, Holmes testified that the girl had dropped one of the nuggets on her lap before it fell between her thigh and her vehicle’s seat belt. It was then that the heat from the nugget resulted in the girl being burned, the suit alleges.
“The Chicken McNuggets inside of that Happy Meal were unreasonably and dangerously hot...and caused [the victim]’s skin and flesh around her thighs to burn,” the lawsuit says.
