A child injured himself on McNuggets in the US that were too hot.

Something like this can only happen in the US! McDonald’s has been sued for overheating chicken nuggets. The family of little Olivia Holmes was badly injured on the Nuggets in 2019.

The then four-year-old suffered burns to her leg, as her mother Philana Holmes explained at the trial. She bought her daughter a “Happy Meal” at a McDonald’s in Tamara, Florida. As she drove off, Olivia suddenly screamed in pain.

Philana Holmes photographed her daughter’s injuries and recorded her cries of pain. Both were accepted as evidence in court – and McDonald’s was actually convicted. The company gave no advice on how to handle hot food safely. The verdict came in May, but it is now clear how much compensation the Holmes family will receive.

Family had demanded 15 million

A jury has now ruled that McDonald’s must pay $ 800,000 to the family. The money is for the pain, the mental anguish and the loss of the ability to enjoy life, the verdict said, as reported by CNN. The hefty fine is composed as follows: $400,000 for past injuries and $400,000 for damages the jury believes will occur in the future.

“I’m just glad the jury reached a fair verdict, I’m happy about that,” Holmes said after the trial. Incidentally, the family had demanded no less than 15 million dollars. In the end, her daughter suffered second-degree burns. It is said that a gold nugget fell under Olivia’s chair and caused severe burns to her leg.

During the trial, McDonald’s had emphasized that the company cannot be blamed. But the jury saw it differently. It is clear to them that there were no warnings on the food to indicate danger. (jmh)
