KFC Sued Contaminated Twister Wrap

After consuming a wrap from KFC, a girl from Australia sustained serious brain damage. A court recently agreed to give her $8 million as part of the legal settlement. In October 2005 she became ill with salmonella encephalopathy, which caused a blood infection along with septic shock, then resulted in paralysis and impairment in her speech and motor skills. KFC plans on appealing the decision. “Monika’s severe brain damage and severe disability has already exhausted the very limited resources of the family,” said the family’s lawyer. “Monika is now a big girl and they are finding it increasingly difficult to lift her and to look after her basic needs as well as look after Monika’s younger siblings.” Her family claims KFC’s poor sanitation and a contaminated Twister wrap led to the brain damage, according to news reports.
