McDonald's held responsible for hot 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. The jury found 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. The child's parents sued, saying that McDonald's and the franchise owner failed to adequately train employees, failed to warn customers about the "dangerous" temperature of the food, and for cooking the food to a much higher temperature than necessary. A second jury will determine how much McDonald's USA and its franchise owner, Upchurch Foods, will pay the child and her mother.

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.
