McDonald’s sued after diner swallows metal object that was in his burger Louis Spitalieri got to the hair in time but swallowed a piece of metal, according to court filings.
A New York City man is hauling McDonald’s into court after chomping down on a hamburger and coming away with a clump of hair and a piece of metal in his mouth, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday and obtained by The Independent.
Further, the complaint contends, the two entities employed “incompetent, untrained, inadequate, and insufficient numbers of personnel” to properly inspect the restaurant’s burgers, and did not supervise or train workers in the “necessary procedure… in preparing their hamburgers without hair, wire, or other non-edible products.”.
The McDonald’s Corporation, along with franchise owner Lisa’s Food Group, were “careless, reckless, and negligent… in failing to properly prepare their hamburgers without non-edible products to be consumed by the general public,” the complaint states.
On April 26, 2024, Spitalieri stopped by a McDonald’s on Staten Island’s Richmond Boulevard for a bite to eat, according to the complaint.
