Rodent baked into Chick-fil-A sandwich spurs lawsuit
Reprints
A cornerstone of Chick-fil-A’s marketing is a cow encouraging patrons to eat more chicken. But rats?
That was one Pennsylvania woman’s alleged experience, claiming a dead rodent was baked into the bun of her sandwich, CBS Philly reported this week.
In a lawsuit, obtained by CBS Philadelphia, Ellen Manfalouti claims that on Nov. 25, 2016, she took a bite out of a sandwich before discovering that there was a dead rodent baked into the bun. A photograph of the sandwich was included in the lawsuit.
She was treated at a local hospital for extreme nausea and is now suing the Bucks County, Pennsylvania, franchise and its manager for more than $50,000, according to the news station.
The lawsuit stated that "defendants … failed to supervise employees who intentionally and/or knowingly served a sandwich to a customer with a dead rodent baked into the bun. This action was a direct cause of the plaintiff's injuries."
