Did the restaurant just screw up the order, or was this some process deficiency with the deboner?
yes, customer got boned at a restaurant and in court
A child probably got killed or maimed cleaning the deboning machines in the slaughterhouse, and we can’t have that affecting profits!
Boneless chicken isn't just deboned, it's shredded and mashed. Since it's basically manufacturing chicken, there is a guaranteed nonzero margin of error. It's the correct ruling, there's no way any company could guarantee the complete absence of bones that were mixed in with the ingredients. I'm more surprised this doesn't happen more often.
Most people chew their food.
And this is acceptable to you? Perhaps corporations shouldn't be permitted to sell a product if they cannot guarantee that it won't kill an otherwise healthy, allergy-free person.
Radical thought, I know...
This is a perfectly avoidable problem. But profits are more important than human lives, so nope. They'll continue throwing every little scrap onto a blender to make sure they're squeezing every cent out of their miserable factory farmed chicken
I'm not exaggerating when I saw literally every product has an acceptable percentage of defecting products that can make it to shelves before it's not okay. There isn't a product in the world that has a 0% risk. It's just something you need to accept and negotiate on how many defective products are acceptable.
You're so capital-brained that you can't even grasp the concept of regulations to mitigate risk until it's essentially zero. This isn't some impossible task, you just think corporations' profit margins are more important than human lives. That's truly what it comes down to.
That's fucking absurd.
We were talking about bones in boneless chicken wings. When's the last time you heard of that happening in any context? Do you anticipate hearing another story about it ever again in your life?
I noticed that you didn't happen to name any...
It's literally the same thing as the McDonald's hot coffee thing.
"Everyone knows coffee is hot so it's her fault" right?
Well no, turns out the case was a lot more nuanced than that, and she 100% deserved to win.
You think you made a point because no matter what product I name, you can come up with some creatively stupid way that a human could theoretically hurt themselves with it. All that says is that you're a creative person. Congrats.
The hot coffee incident was a known issue with their machines. Management had been made aware and was intentionally negligent. An incident was inevitable.
No one had any way of suspecting there was a bone in the chicken wing, the customer didn't even notice. Who are you trying to assign blame to?
I don't know what the boneless tender machine looks like, but no process is 100% effective, so it's entirely possible for a bit of bone to make it through. Usually, that's acceptable, because you find it while chewing and remove it. In this case, it was a dangerously-shaped piece of bone, and it ended up in his respiratory system and caused significant illness.
Honestly, I'm not sure that he has a case, since it really is acceptable for some bone to be present. That it ended up poorly for him isn't really the company's fault.
In an ideal system, his medical costs would be covered by universal healthcare, and he wouldn't have to worry about paying bills or losing his job while out sick through no fault of his own. He shouldn't need to sue for those costs. (And if he's just looking for a payday lawsuit, then fuck that guy and his lawyer.)
The bone was nearly 1.5 inches long. It wasn't just a bit of bone. It was basically the size of some bone-in wings.
That's what I call my estrogen pills
