What Is This Class Action All About?
A jury found McDonald’s and franchisee Upchurch Foods liable for second-degree burns to a 4-year-old from Chicken McNuggets.
The 4-year-old child of plaintiffs Philana Holmes and Humberto Caraballo received a hot six-piece Chicken McNugget Happy Meal in 2019 from the McDonald’s in Tamarac, Florida. Shortly after the Happy Meal was passed to the child in the backseat, the child began screaming.
After pulling over, the parents found that the Chicken McNugget had fallen and created a severe burn on the child’s leg, which had to be treated at a hospital emergency room.
“After a closer inspection revealed that the burn was welting and turning deep red, she took her daughter to the emergency room,” the plaintiffs’ lawyers from Fischer Redavid PLLC wrote. “Doctors there treated her for a serious second-degree burn injury.”
The Broward County, Florida, jury found that the negligence of Upchurch Foods Inc. was what led to the injuries to the plaintiffs’ child. The jury also found that Upchurch Foods did not provide reasonable instructions, either written or verbally, about the foreseeable risks from the hot Chicken McNuggets, which was the legal cause for the injury.
