A woman's lawsuit against a Chicago,
Ill., McDonald's claims that her child ate and coughed up part of a used
condom he found in the restaurant's play area.
Anishi
Spencer filed the suit Wednesday on behalf of herself and her two
children, Jonathan, 3 years old at the time of the incident, and
Jacquel, 2, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.
The mother claims that
the boys found a used prophylactic on the PlayPlace area's floor when
they visited McDonald's in Feb. 2012, according to CBS Chicago.
Jacquel later coughed up a piece of the condom, and both boys required medical treatment.
The
suit takes aim at McDonald's cleaning and surveillance procedures,
specifically its failure to detect "deviant activities" on site. Spencer
claims negligence and seeks compensation of at least $50,000 in damages
for her boys' medical treatment.
A request for comment from
McDonald's headquarters was not immediately returned. The manager on
duty at the McDonald's where the incident occurred told The Huffington
Post that she could not remember if she was working at the time and
could not offer further information.
McDonald's has had a small
string of meal-breaking incidents in the past year. In early February
2013, a woman in China was hospitalized after drinking detergent from a
Coca-Cola cup a clerk admitted to leaving on the counter. Last October, a
woman in Oklahoma sliced her tongue when she bit into a McDonald's
cookie allegedly containing a razor-sharp piece of clear plastic.
