A jury found McDonald’s and the franchise owner liable for failing to properly warn the family about the 'unreasonably and dangerously” hot McNuggets.
On Wednesday, the jury deliberated how much McDonald’s and Upchurch Foods would be liable for. After two hours of deliberation, the jury awarded the family $800,000 – including $400,000 for injuries suffered in the past and $400,000 for future damages. The family had sought $15 million in its lawsuit, but their attorneys called the $800,000 outcome “fair and just.”
“This momentous decision brings meaningful closure to an arduous and protracted legal process,” attorneys for the family said in a statement, according to CNN. “Having previously established the defendants, Upchurch Foods Inc and McDonald’s USA LLC, as liable for their wrongful actions, this verdict reaffirms that they must now face the consequences and provide full justice.”
Both McDonald’s and Upchurch Foods have said in a statement that customers should be confident their McNuggets are served safely at the restaurant.
