I agree although if my allergy was that severe I would check because everyone knows McDonalds hardly ever gets an order correct. I examine the bag everytime before I pull away from the window and 9 times out of 10 something is not right or they left out something. It is odd NEVER has an extra sandwich been included.

You are right. McDonald's employees mess orders up all the time. Still, the error was on their part, even though this man should have checked his sandwich as well. Mistakes like that is what liability and errors & omissions coverage is for. He will most likely at least be reimbursed for his medical expenses. I won't speculate on whether he cashes in or not.

LOL. We went through McD's drive thru today on the way home from church to save time. Of course my sandwich was wrong and I had to go back in and trade it for a plain one. I laughed and told my husband that I'm thinking about getting a class action suit together against McDonald's for emotional distress!

There is a principle called, "personal responsibility."

By means of political correctness, the populace is being taught to blame others and pass responsibility to others. We are becoming a nation of wimps.

According to the article McDonalds offered to pay all medical cost but the offer was refused. I feel sorry for the guy - if his story is not some sort of shake down.

I don't understand the "allergy" angle. Most people who cannot eat cheese have an intollerance to lactose. Enough cheese in your gut and you may wish you were dead, but a single bite comes no where near to being lethal. From the description it sounds like he went into anaphylactic shock. That requires some pretty special conditions if it involves cheese.

Does McDonalds cheese have rennet or the penecillian fungi in it? A lot comes down to what his condition actually is- and the article doesn't tell us. It's unlikely that McDonalds processed cheese has something as expensive as penecillian fungi in it. That's usually used for the more expensive French style cheeses.

Kind of reminds me of the lady who "found" a finger in her Wendy's chilli. Turns out DNA testing showed that the finger came from her husband's coworker who lost it on the job, and far from Wendy's.

Why not just buy a McDonalds franchise? After several years of hard work you may be able to have McDonalds make you rich that way. Oh, yeah - "hard work."

It's too bad the burger didn't finish the job; DNA strands like that should to be discontinued from future generations.
