McDonald’s was found liable Thursday for a hot Chicken McNugget that fell from a Happy Meal and allegedly burned a four-year-old girl, causing second-degree burns. Now, the company, as well as its franchise owner, Upchurch Foods, is waiting to hear how much it will need to pay the child and her mother.
A second jury will determine how much McDonald’s and its owner will have to pay, according to a report by NBC Miami.
The jury found Upchurch Foods liable for negligence and failure to warn customers about the risks of hot food, and McDonald’s liable for failing to provide instructions for how to handle the food safely.
McDonald’s, however, was not found negligent and the jury dismissed the claim that McNuggets are defective.
