McDonald’s Sued for Cheese - Ten Million Dollars

It seems that McDonald’s is being sued for allegedly not doing an order properly. A customer claims that there was cheese on his hamburger:

“A Morgantown man, his mother and his friend are suing McDonald’s for $10 million.

The man says he bit into a hamburger and had a severe allergic reaction to the cheese melted on it.”

It begs the question why this person didn’t check to see if there was indeed any cheese present. It isn’t as if cheese is a hidden ingredient. It seems that Stella Liebeck, who sued for a spilled cup of coffee, set a high standard… and pinned a target on McDonald’s.

Litigation is frequently substituted for rudimentary intelligence - nothing new here, not even the notion that we allow it to happen.

What is really sad is that he may win the lawsuit.

What I find deeply sad about all this is that an intelligent system - namely the courts of law - allow this sort of predatory lawsuit in the first place.

The other thing that saddens me is that I presume this is happening in America - unfortunately that means the UK won’t be too far behind in this madness.
