McDonald's sued over spilled hot chocolate

Northlake woman sued McDonald's in Cook County Circuit Court today claiming that her daughter was seriously burned in 2009 when a hot chocolate she ordered from the fast-food giant spilled and seriously burned her leg.

Vicki LaRocco purchased the hot chocolate for her daughter on April 28, 2009 at a McDonald's drive-through window in Schiller Park, according to the lawsuit.

The lid of the cup was improperly secured, however, and the beverage spilled onto LaRocco's daughter causing "severe pain and scarring," the suit states.

The suit further alleges that McDonald's should have known that the hot chocolate was too hot to drink.

In 1994, an elderly woman was awarded over $2 million after suing McDonald's for burns she suffered when coffee she bought at a drive-through window spilled in her lap. That amount was later reduced by a judge.

LaRocco is asking for an unspecified amount of damages.

McDonald's spokeswoman Danya Proud declined to comment on the lawsuit Wednesday evening. "At this time, these are just allegations," Proud said. - chicagobreakingnews.com
