Lawsuit Claims Dragon Balls at Los Gatos Thai Restaurant Caused Chemical Burns

A woman is suing a Thai restaurant in Los Gatos, claiming that an appetizer called Dragon Balls caused chemical burns to her vocal cords, esophagus, and nostril. The lawsuit alleges that the dish was advertised as spicy, but the woman requested it to be made less spicy. However, after eating the Dragon Balls, she experienced intense burning and was later diagnosed with internal chemical burns. The lawsuit accuses the restaurant, its owner, chef, and waitress of negligence for serving a dish unfit for human consumption and failing to provide appropriate medical assistance. The restaurant denies using excessive chili spice and claims that it is not possible to make the dish mild. The woman is seeking damages and compensation for medical expenses and lost earnings.
