BNB's recent $1 billion token burn and record DEX volume have positively influenced its price, which has doubled since early 2024, reaching $692. While supply reduction plays a role, increased on-chain demand, especially from DEX trading, appears to be a significant factor. Key resistance and target levels to watch are $700 and $800, with short-term caution advised by options market data.
A South Florida jury has awarded $800,000 in damages to a little girl who was severely burned when a hot Chicken McNugget fell on her leg as her mother pulled away from a McDonald's drive-thru. The jury's verdict form allotted $400,000 in damages for the past four years and another $400,000 for the future from McDonald's USA and its franchise operator. The girl's mother testified that at no point did McDonald's warn her the food might be unusually hot. This case may draw comparisons to the infamous McDonald's coffee lawsuit of the 1990s.
A Broward jury has awarded $800,000 in damages in a lawsuit where parents alleged that hot chicken McNuggets from a local McDonald's franchise left their 4-year-old daughter severely burned. The parents were seeking $15 million for the burn, but the jury deliberated for two hours and reached the $800,000 amount. The lawsuit found fault with both McDonald's and the franchisee for failure to warn about the foreseeable risks of harm. McDonald's argued that food safety rules require McNuggets to be hot enough, and what happens to a McNugget once it leaves the drive-thru window is beyond their control.
A Florida jury has reached a split verdict in a lawsuit against McDonald's and a franchise owner, Upchurch Foods, after a 4-year-old girl suffered second-degree burns from hot chicken McNuggets in her Happy Meal. The jury found that both McDonald's and Upchurch failed to put warnings on the food, but McDonald's was not negligent for causing the burns. The parents were pleased with the verdict and hope it leads to change. Another trial will determine how much McDonald's and Upchurch have to pay in damages.
