Settlement Reached Between Burger King And Man Who Found Unwrapped Condom In His Food (News)




Nothing like a disgusting story to start the morning off,, pretty much the specialty around these parts lol.

Back in 2007, a Vermont man claimed he found an unwrapped condom in his Burger King Meal.

Three years later, a lawyer for the man has announced that the matter has been settled out of court.

The case was supposed to head into jury selection next month, but the Rutland Herald in Vermont reports that on Oct. 6, lawyers for both sides told the court they had reached a settlement and asked for the case to be dismissed.

Details of the settlement are sealed.

In the original suit, the plaintiff said he had ordered a Southwestern Whopper from a Burger King in Fair Haven, VT, and when he returned home to eat his food with his family, he discovered the discarded condom. He says that when he complained to the manager, the matter was laughed off.

At the time, both BK and the company that owns that particular franchise issued denials of any wrongdoing. Info from: consumerist.com
