A Texas woman has filed a lawsuit against McDonald’s after allegedly becoming seriously ill following a breakfast she purchased at a Manhattan restaurant, according to The New York Post. Yvette Hinds filed the suit in the Manhattan Supreme Court, according to court documents. The claim centers on a Sausage McMuffin with Egg she says she bought at a Midtown location in May 2023.
According to the complaint, the sandwich Hinds was served on May 25, 2023, was “wholly unfit for human consumption.” The filing alleges the food contained “injurious substances, contaminants, poisons, toxins, parasites, bacteria, germs and/or organisms which would and did cause various serious personal injuries.” Hinds claims that after eating the sandwich, she became “violently ill and nauseated” and suffered “severe pains and distress throughout her body.”
