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.

This is why, as a society, we are going down the drain.

Oh. My. Sweet. Jesus.

Serious mental and emotional injuries? She must have bit that thing so hard she drove the pin up into her brain.

I know there are two sides to every story and all, but I can't imagine how this truly damaged her or how McDonalds was negligent in this case.

McDonalds is notorious for not making good on injured parties and forcing them to file suit (just ask Stella Liebeck) but in this case, I can see why - at least from this story.

Seems she already had mental injuries... Who eats that crap when they're pregnant?

$_$

^ both her n her lawyer

McDonalds is a prime target for people wanting to make easy money. It's like the guy who was severely traumatized by not getting two napkin...

I just can't help but think how big of a handful one would have to try to cram into their mouth so as not to notice the nametag before biting?

Am I the only person who eats fries one at a time?

Because she was eating for two, she could get more to the baby by grabbing a handful.

This is bringing to mind that question on the report form "There was a foreign object in my food."

Mabe your looking at a different MSC's report. The last one I used, and was dated this month did not have a foreign object question or a name tag missing question anywhere on it. I just double checked it.

Nope, I assure you, I am not. It's a checkbox under the "sandwich" questions.

BB is correct. It is a checkbox under one of the questions

How the bloody Hell do you eat even a handful of fries without seeing a honking name badge. I used to wear one of those bludgers, I call foul.

My guess is that she found it and slipped it into her fries, because she saw money signs.

Note that she did not mention the incident at all while in the restaurant nor anytime in the immediate thereafter, probably so that they wouldn't save the security footage.

Is it the same lady who found a finger in a Wendys chilli?

"If the employee was not wearing a name tag, how did you obtain his/her name?"

"I ate it."

"I ate it." (burp)

My fries were hard, cold, and tasted artificial. There was a bit of a bloody aftertaste.

"...and they hurt my gums."

If she ate the fries with her fingers, how could she miss not feeling something as big as a name tag( I stopped eating there for a long time due to what tasted like spoiled meat.)

An excellent source of iron!

The possibility of a foreign object being served to a customer is gross.

Ambulance-chasing lawyers are not far fetched, but are also gross.

I am reading all the McDonald replies. Some are truly funny! Since I do not each junk food, I do not do shops for them. I have never seen a shop come through my e-mail to do Mc Donalds.

For those of you who do these shops, you are very brave and courageous to do these types of shops.

Bless you for doing them. You are appreciated.

Maybe she could name her baby from the nametag..........hahahahahahaha

LOL!
"How did you pick that name?"
"Well, funny story.....I kind of got stuck with it!"

Sandi, this is another case, of wishing there was a "love this post" option. Hilarious!

I found a latex finger from a glove in my salad once. I just did not go back.#stilltryingnottousecontractions.
