Retired Army sergeant Clark Bartholomew settled out of the court with one of the famous food chains, Burger King. He was eating the Triple Stacker at the food chain in Honolulu, Hawaii, when he claims that he took a bite and the needle pierced his tongue. The other needles were reportedly lodged into his intestine.
The lawsuit states that the needles inside the sandwich of Burger King did injure Bartholomew and left him requiring a hospital treatment. The lawyer of the retired Army sergeant is Paul Saccoccio and told some media outlets that they were releasing the CTI Foods Holding Co. and Burger King Corp from the lawsuit.
The Desert News reported that the trial is still scheduled against US Army and Air Force Exchange that operates the franchise of Burger King on Hawaii Army base wherein the burger was bought in 2010. A non-jury trial is said to be schedule on March 2.
The government lawyers have stated previously that the case must be dropped as Bartholomew was injured during his period in military service. The judge refused to throw the case on the trash.
Burger King attempted to fix everything. However, it was not successful as Bartholomew has failed to attend the conference. The judge ordered to pay about $8500 as his sanctions.
The case of Bartholomew is not the first time that the food chain has had some allegations of the foreign objects in their food. According to Inquistr, one Burger King chain in Northern Arizona had the same incident last year. The customer had gone into the food chain to order salad for lunch and was surprised when she saw a razor blade in her salad. Burger King took action with it and fired the staff who was working at the station and stated that razor blades aren't allowed at the food area.
