McDonald's Found Liable for Burns Caused by “Dangerously Hot” Chicken Nugget

  • A Florida family sued McDonald's after their daughter suffered severe burns from a chicken nugget.
  • A jury ruled that McDonald's and the franchise owner were liable for failing to warn customers about the possible harm from hot food.
  • The 4-year-old girl received second-degree burns after a nugget fell between her leg and a seatbelt.
  • The family argued the nugget was 200 degrees Fahrenheit while McDonald's claimed it was 160 degrees.
  • A second trial will determine how much McDonald's must pay the family.
