Defective restaurant food

September 10, 2024

Mikayla Jackson, a minor, was fed a chicken pot pie her mother had purchased from a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant. The pot pie contained a bone fragment, which injured Jackson.

Jackson’s mother, on her behalf, sued the restaurant’s owners and managers, alleging the defendants negligently allowed a defective food product to be sold at their restaurant.

The parties settled for an undisclosed amount.

Plaintiff counsel: Frank Caruso, New Brunswick, N.J.
