There is nothing insane here. If the sandwich was not “drained properly”, as is alleged, and a pocket of hot grease did in fact cause the blistering and scarring as alleged, the guy should be reimbursed for medical expense and awarded a nominal amount for his lost wages, pain and suffering. This is what he originally asked for – just $22,000. It is McDonald’s own fault that they are now being sued for $2,000,000.
You really think this man is owed $22,000?? That his lost wages – as a CARNY! and his medical expenses for Chapstick(TM) cost him $22,000?? That a burn on his lip made him miss work??
I agree with you. If any one of you had took a bite of this sandwich and scalding grease exploded out of it and burned your face and lips to blistering you would have wanted compensation also. I would think $22,000 would be in line with what the person made in a year or from a job. Again, McDonalds could have avoided all this by handling it correctly from the beginning.
Not all claimants are out to make a buck…If the guy can prove his medical and out of pocket costs Big Mac needs to pay. We can reasonably expect not to be scalded with oil when eatting in a restaurant. Accidents happen and when they do, a reasonable company should stand up and make things right for the customer. I’m not saying all claimants are reasonable, I just think most people want to be treated with respect and not looked at like crooks.
No rescue squad called, no ER visit. A doctor prescribed LIP BALM. This was not an explosion of molten hot grease exploding over his face, causing permanent injury and excruciating pain. This is a claim with no evidence anything happened except he was told to buy a .79 cent tube of lip balm. Had he any proof anything happened or even sought any medical tx at the time I might be more inclined to believe him. A doctor, several months later, Rxing “lip balm” speaks to the truth of how meritless this claim is (at least as how it’s presented in this article.)

How much grease could be in one bite. Sounds to me like hperbole has met its match. I guess the wrapper wasn’t hot when he picked it up and it must have held all the grease that we dripping out of it. I guess the Cola wasn’t cold enough to dowse that burning sensation. And, I guess they NEVER fry anything at the Carnival.
