McDonald's and one of its franchise holders were found responsible after a girl suffered second-degree burns on her leg from a hot Chicken McNugget that fell off a Happy Meal box.
A jury found the franchise holder negligent for not warning customers about hot food and McDonald's at fault for not providing instructions for the safe handling of the food.
The family's lawyers argued that the temperature of the nugget was above 200 degrees Fahrenheit, while the defence argued it was no more than 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
