McDonald's held liable for hot McNugget that burned child.

A South Florida jury found McDonald’s and a franchise holder at fault after a hot Chicken McNugget from a Happy Meal fell on a little girl’s leg and caused second-degree burns. The franchise holder was found liable for negligence and failure to warn customers about the risk of hot food, while McDonald’s was found liable for failing to provide instructions for safe handling of the food. A second jury will determine how much McDonald’s and the franchise owner will pay the child and her mother.
