The family of a 4-year-old girl scalded by her Chicken McNugget Happy Meal in 2019 is suing McDonald’s for failing to properly train employees and protect customers.
The family of a 4-year-old girl allegedly scalded by a steaming hot Chicken McNugget is taking McDonald’s to court in Broward County, faulting the fast-food giant for poor training and failing to protect its customers.
“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 states. The burns were second-degree, according to the lawsuit, and the chicken was on her thigh for nearly two minutes. The girl, whose name is not disclosed in the lawsuit, is autistic and will not be testifying.
Broward Circuit Judge David Haimes split the trial into two parts — the first will determine whether McDonald’s is responsible for the burn. If McDonald’s loses, a second trial will determine damages. Lawyers for McDonald’s said in court Monday that they plan to argue the burn was caused at least in part by the length of time the nugget spent in contact with the victim’s skin. Plaintiff’s lawyers say the nuggets were more than 200 degrees Farenheit.
