KFC isn't the only chicken place getting sued: Customer Sues Popeyes For Serving His Fried Chicken With a Spork
Fast food: It’s quick, cheap, and usually served with plastic utensils that don’t always do the best job at cutting food. A Mississippi man found that out the hard way, claiming he choked on a piece of Popeyes fried chicken because it was served without a plastic knife.
The man, who happens to be an attorney, is now suing the chain, alleging that the only utensil he was given with his drive-thru order was a spork. Paul Newton Jr. says he received his order sans knife, the AP reports, leaving him with no choice but to “hold the chicken breast with his hands and tear off pieces with his teeth, causing him to choke.”
