Texas Woman Sues McDonald's Over 2023 McMuffin, Claiming Permanent Illness 3 Years Later

Summary
A May 26 lawsuit in New York Supreme Court says Texas resident Yvette Hinds became violently ill after eating a Sausage Egg McMuffin at a Times Square McDonald’s in 2023 and still suffers severe pain.
The complaint alleges the sandwich was unfit for human consumption and may have contained contaminants, toxins, parasites or bacteria, claiming McDonald’s staff knew or should have known the food was tainted.
Hinds says several operations and treatments have not cured lasting damage to her physical, nervous and mental systems, leaving her unable to work as before and burdened with major medical costs.
McDonald’s owner-operator Paul Goodman said the company strongly disputes the allegations, investigates such claims seriously and that the matter was resolved months ago.
The case adds to McDonald’s legal pressure after a class-action suit filed in December accused the chain of misleading consumers by selling a McRib that contains no rib meat.
