Another McDonald's Lawsuit

If you place a special order shouldn't you check it before you leave the
establishment? I eat my burgers plain. It's been a long time since I
was at a McD's but I always checked to make sure my burger was to order
before I drove off. I guess it's a good thing for McDonald's he didn't
order coffee, too.

It's his own bozo fault for not actually checking. If he was cautious enough
to order it that way because of a cheese allergy and knowing he could
possibly die, he should have been equally as cautious to check it before
biting into it and return the meal. That should probably release McD from any
liability, imho.

The other issue that wasn't mentioned was if his friend or mother didn't
mistakenly give him the cheese'd burger as they drove away.

So, he ordered two quarter pounders without cheese. And the excuse for this
lawsuit is he didn't notice it had cheese on it because he was eating in a
dark room. What?!

I must admit that if I was that allergic to cheese, I certainly would
have checked for myself before eating the burgers.
He will probably get awarded some sort of settlement - sigh. However,
what also amazes me is that "stuff" they put on McD's burgers can even
be called cheese... Blech!

Yeah, I still can't figure out why they didn't check the special order. Any
time I order something (after all, I think it's called a Quarter Pounder
with Cheese???) I check it first. And his mother and friend are party to
the lawsuit because they "risked their lives" rushing him to the hospital?
Um, as opposed to what, calling 911 and letting an ambulance staffed with
medical personnel do it? Sounds more like they want to be party to some
monetary fallout to me.

The friend or Mom may have even intentionally given him the cheese'd burger
(maybe hoping he'd actually die) and blame McD as part of the plan.
"Jeremy, here's your no cheese'd quarter pounder." He accepts it on faith!
They tell the cops lies, get an ambulance chasing attorney and bingo, a
$10million lawsuit.

It wreaks of fraud, imho.

Except looking at the damn hamburger to see if it has cheese on
it. Duh.

I'd like to see a picture of these people. $100 bucks says
they're 100% pure, backwoods, inbred trailer trash. Just looking
to make a buck because they're too stupid to assume any
responsibility for themselves.

This will make you laugh: my daughter doesn't like cheese on her burgers
(no allergy, just a preference). I have ordered a hamburger many times for
her at McDonald's and it ALWAYS has cheese on it. Then, I tried saying
"hamburger, no cheese" and they get it right. So, now I order it that
redundant way every time.

Heh. I know what it's like to buy food for somebody with bad food
allergies... you check, then you double-check, and then you triple check
to make sure there are no ingredients/contents that may cause a
reaction. You don't have to be a rocket-scientist to figure that one
out. But I am willing to bet that this pratt will get something outta McD's.

Why is anyone so deathly allergic to cheese eating from Booger King...
they serve cheese there! DUH

People with food allergies, or any health issues, are ultimately
responsible for their own welfare.

Of course the fast food joints may not be serving actual cheese, odds
are more likely it's a vegetable fat product containing no cheese
whatsoever. But it's still the responsibility of the patron to find
out.

It's not as if it's invisible. People just look for any way to scam
money. If he was that desperate for no cheese that he told
them eight million times No cheese, he would have looked.
He's just a big fat liar. Heh.

It will end up as an out of court settlement with no admission of liability.
He'll get a couple of grand out of McD's.

FBS is lactose intolerant. He has had hamburgers from McD's come with
cheese. The only way he has managed to get a burger without cheese, and I
swear this is true, at our 'local' is to order a double cheeseburger - hold
the cheese. That's the ONLY way he gets a burger without cheese.

So I guess the moral of the story is: If you're allergic to cheese (or
lactose intolerant) it's not really a Good Idea to buy burgers from McD's...

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that it is a rumour started by
MacDonalds for sympathy and support. We've got some lazy [censored] who goes
through the take out window instead of walking inside to order and after
all his alleged attempts to get a cheese free product does not even bother
to check because the room is too dark, even though his allergy to cheese is
so severe that he almost died ??????

Sorry, but I think it is a crock.
I think it is about time that the courts started socking it to lawyers and
clients for launching frivolous lawsuits.

And what's the worst that happens if a lactose intolerant person eats a
cheese burger....... gas and diarrhoea. It is not like it is a life
threatening condition. That stuff is barely cheese anyway.

No, Sheldon. It is Pasteurized process cheese food. In the long list
of ingredients, cheese is the first ingredient. Crappy, yes, but it
is real dairy.

" Pasteurized process cheese food is a variation of process cheese
that may have dry milk, whey solids, or anhydrous milkfat added, which
reduces the amount of cheese in the finished product. It must contain
at least 51% of the cheese ingredient by weight, have a moisture
content less than 44%, and have at least 23% milkfat."

I'll bet the other half of the story is that his mom and friend are suing
McDonald's because, although they each clearly ordered a quarter pounder
with cheese, their burgers had no cheese on them.

The real coffee story is a lot less flattering to McDonalds than you
appear to assume here.

http://www.lectlaw.com/files/cur78.htm

Eating at McDonalds at all is a poor decision on several grounds, some
listed below:

* What little taste there is in the stuff is awful.
* It's expensive compared to, say, a taco truck or whatever else is local to you.
* The "food" is jammed with ingredients like HFCS which is *really* bad for you.

Cheers,
David (a former McDonalds employee)

That came out when the Hindu's found out there was beef extract in the
fries.
You won't find any kosher complaints about McD's or any place else
becasue
it is the consumer who is responsible for verifying what is going into
their
mouth, not the provider.

There was the case of an allegedly kosher butcher in NJ or NY who was
passing off non-kosher meat to his clientel. The rabbis and community
took
care of it.
