Bill Miller restaurant facing $1 million lawsuit over ‘dangerously hot’ sauce that burned teen girl Genesis Monita,19, dropped scalding hot barbeque sauce over her thighs – an incident that she alleges left her with second-degree burns.
In the suit, Monita calls the restaurant negligent as she says she was handed the scalding hot sauce without any prior warning of its temperature, Bill Miller is also accused of not training staff to accurately check the sauce’s temperature and for giving it to her in an unsuitable container, as per the Fox affiliate.
Popular Texas barbecue restaurant chain Bill Miller is facing a $1 million lawsuit from a Texas teenager who says she suffered second-degree burns from the hot sauce in her breakfast taco order.
But in the cross-examination, Bill Miller’s attorneys reminded Monita that upon learning of the incident, the restaurant sent her a check for her medical bills, offered to clean her car, and cover any lost wages from work absence – discretions that she reportedly declined, said Fox SA.
However, when Monita took the tacos out of the bag, she came into contact with a scalding hot container of barbeque sauce.
