McDonald's and franchisee held liable for girl's Chicken McNugget burn by Florida jury.

A jury in Broward County found McDonald's and its franchisee, Upchurch Foods Inc., liable for failure to warn about the "foreseeable risks of harm" after a 4-year-old girl suffered a burn injury from a Chicken McNugget in 2019. The family's attorneys proclaimed victory, and a new jury will be empaneled for a second trial to determine damages. McDonald's and Upchurch Foods argued that food safety rules require McNuggets to be hot enough, otherwise, they're unsafe to eat, and what happens to a McNugget once it leaves the drive-thru window is beyond their control.
