A Texas family has filed a lawsuit against a BBQ restaurant, claiming their 4-year-old child was burned by a “dangerously hot” sauce served at the restaurant. The incident reportedly took place in April when the family was dining at the establishment.
According to the lawsuit, the child was served food with an extremely hot sauce that ended up causing serious burns on the lower body. The family alleges that the restaurant failed to warn them that the sauce could cause such severe injury.
The parents claim that the temperature of the sauce was much higher than what is normally expected for food served to customers, especially children.
They believe the restaurant showed negligence by not properly checking or cooling the sauce before serving it to a child.
The family is now suing for medical costs, emotional distress, and other damages. Their attorney stated that this was not a simple case of spicy food, but one of extreme heat that led to physical harm. The burns reportedly caused significant pain and required medical attention.
As of now, the restaurant has not issued a public response to the lawsuit. The legal process is ongoing, and more details may come out as the case progresses.
The incident has sparked concerns about safety standards in restaurants, especially when serving food to children.
