"Was the nugget cooked with Lava?": McDonalds hot chicken nuggets $15,000 lawsuit sparks hilarious reactions online

McDonalds has found itself in a tough spot after its chicken nuggets ended up causing second-degree burns to a child. The incident happened in 2019 and involved a four-year-old autistic girl who received second-degree burns on her upper thigh after a hot Chicken McNugget served in her happy meal fell on her legs.The $15,000 lawsuit filed by the girl's family in South Florida seeks compensation for the damages from Mcdonald’s and the Upchurch Foods franchise. However, the verdict on May 11, 2023, ended in a split decision, and the jurors found the franchise holder liable for &quot;negligence and failure to warn customers about the risk of hot food.&quot; The fast food chain was also found accountable for &quot;failing to provide instructions for safe handling of the food.&quot;While McDonalds may have to pay for the damages, the jury dismissed arguments in the lawsuit claiming the product was defective. As the proceedings continue, a second jury will soon determine the compensation the fast food chain and its franchise owner, Upchurch Foods, may have to pay the child and her family.The fast food chain is facing a lawsuit of over $15,000 in a hot Chicken McNugget incident (Image via Luke Sharrett/ Bloomberg/ Getty Images/ McDonalds)Fast food chains being taken to court is a common occurrence, but the incident related to a supposedly hot Chicken McNugget has left the internet amused.

Help me understand.McDonalds respectfully disagrees with the verdict in the Hot Chicken McNugget lawsuitIn 2019, Philana Holmes and Humberto Caraballo Estevez filed a lawsuit against McDonalds and franchise owner Upchurch Foods after a hot Chicken McNugget fell on their daughter Olivia’s leg and caused second-degree burns. While the parents argued that the restaurant served a chicken nugget that was “defective, harmful, and unfit for human handling,” the court came to the conclusion that the product was not defective.Though the franchise and the fast food chain may have to pay for damages, which are to be determined by a second jury, they have only been found liable for not warning customers about the risk of hot food. Following the verdict, the chain agreed that it was indeed an unfortunate accident but respectfully disagreed with the ruling.McDonalds respectfully disagreed with the verdict while promising customers to serve quality food like always (Image via Horacio Villalobos/ Getty Images)After hearing the arguments and witnesses for two days, the court finally found the company liable, but the internet did not seem pleased with how the episode unfolded.

Though a set amount for the compensation is yet to be decided, it is believed that the lawsuit will cause fast-food chains to pay more attention to food handling.
