A jury in Florida on Wednesday awarded $800,000 in damages to a 7-year-old girl for suffering and mental anguish caused when a Chicken McNugget fell on her, leading to a second-degree burn.
The burn happened in 2019 when she was visiting a McDonald’s at age 4.
The case has drawn comparisons to a famous, and successful, lawsuit against the fast-food chain by a woman who was scalded by hot coffee more than 30 years ago.
The jury in Broward County awarded the girl $400,000 for the pain she endured and an additional $400,000 for any future suffering resulting from the injury,.
