A mother has won a court case against McDonald’s after her daughter suffered second-degree burns from a chicken nugget that fell out of a Happy Meal.

She claimed that in 2019, she bought Happy Meals for her son and then-4-year-old daughter, Olivia Caraballo, at a drive-thru window at a McDonald’s in Tamarac, Florida.

She screamed in pain

She handed the food to her children, who were in the back seat of her car. As she drove away, her daughter started screaming. She pulled over and saw that a hot nugget had fallen on the girl’s leg and caused a burn.

She took photos and recorded audio of the girl’s screams on her phone, which were played in court.

A jury in South Florida found McDonald’s and the franchise holder liable for failing to provide instructions for safe handling of the food and for cooking the food to a much higher temperature than necessary.

The jury also found the franchise holder liable for negligence and failure to warn customers about the risk of hot food.

A second jury will determine how much compensation the child and her mother will receive.
