A Happy Meal Chicken McNugget left a young girl with second degree burns on her leg after it fell from the box. The chain has been found guilty in court in America of being negligent for failing to warn customers of the dangers of hot food.
A jury also found the chain at fault for not providing instructions for the safe handling of the food. There was a disagreement at the case with the lawyers for the family claiming the nugget was at 200 degrees Fahrenheit - 93C, while the defence argued it was no more than 160 degrees Fahrenheit 71C.
In a statement, McDonald’s called it an “unfortunate incident” but that they “respectfully disagree with the verdict.” McDonald’s defence said it had no control over the injuries and damages, the Mirror reported.
