McDonald's held responsible for McNugget burn incident.

McDonald's and a franchise holder have been found liable for a hot Chicken McNugget that fell on a little girl's leg and caused second-degree burns, according to a jury in South Florida. The decision was split, with jurors finding the franchise holder liable for negligence and failure to warn customers about the risk of hot food, and McDonald's USA liable for failing to provide instructions for safe handling of the food. A second jury will determine how much McDonald's USA and its franchise owner, Upchurch Foods, will pay the child and her mother.
