STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- A customer contends she found an unwelcome surprise when she grabbed a handful of French fries and bit into them at a McDonald's restaurant in Dongan Hills.
Maria Seccafico inadvertently chomped down on a worker's nametag that was in her spuds, a recently-filed lawsuit alleges.
Ms. Seccafico, 32, who was pregnant at the time of the Nov. 30, 2013 incident, was injured by the nametag's pin, said her lawyer, Christopher Cardillo, who declined to specify her injuries.
She also suffered "serious" mental and emotional injuries, her lawsuit alleges.
"Clearly, a person would suffer emotionally realizing that food isn't always safe to eat," said Cardillo, a principal in the Manhattan-based firm Cardillo & Keyser.
Ms. Seccafico seeks unspecified monetary damages from McDonald's Corporation in the suit filed in state Supreme Court, St. George.
The incident occurred at the McDonald's restaurant at 1388 Hylan Blvd., said the complaint.
Ms. Seccafico alleges McDonald's failed to properly train workers, operated the restaurant in a "careless, reckless and negligent manner" and failed to safeguard against potential hazards.
Public records indicate Ms. Seccafico is a Mid-Island resident.
Cardillo said she had been a "good customer" at the restaurant before the episode.
The lawyer said he's tried to resolve the incident with McDonald's, which is headquartered in Oak Brook, Ill., but without success.
"Although our client was injured by the negligence of McDonald's and its employees, McDonald's has so far been completely silent about this incident," he said. "They could have easily avoided a lawsuit if they were willing to discuss the matter with us. Unfortunately, McDonald's callous behavior has only exacerbated the situation."
A manager at the Dongan Hills restaurant said she was unaware of the incident or the lawsuit and referred further inquiries to McDonald's headquarters.
McDonald's did not immediately respond to an e-mail sent to it corporate offices.
