3. Court Rules: Chicken Wings Advertised As Boneless Can Have Bones
The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that chicken wings advertised as boneless can have bones.
The court rejected claims by a restaurant patron who suffered serious medical complications when a bone stuck in his throat.
Michael Berkheimer was dining with his wife and friends at a wing joint and had ordered the usual—boneless wings with parmesan garlic sauce—when he felt a bite-size piece of meat go down the wrong way. Three days later, feverish and unable to keep food down, Berkeimer went to the emergency room, where a doctor discovered a long, thin bone that had torn his esophagus and caused an infection.
He sued the restaurant, Wings on Brookwood, saying it failed to warn him that “boneless wings”—which are, of course, nuggets of boneless, skinless breast meat—could contain bones. The suit also named the supplier and the farm that produced the chicken, claiming all were negligent. In a 4-3 ruling, the Supreme Court said Thursday that “boneless wings” refers to a cooking style, and that Berkheimer should have been on guard against bones since it’s common knowledge that chickens have bones. The high court sided with lower courts that had dismissed Berkheimer’s suit. Read More.
