It’s a funny discovery, but not at all funny, that a woman made while biting into her burger: feeling something strange under her tooth, she was amazed to see above the minced steak a lizard, from the kitchens of McDonald’s in Saint-Witz (Val-d’Oise).
The story is told by The Parisian, and was confirmed to us by the victim’s attorney. “My client ordered her burger from McDonald’s via an app in February 2021. She bit into the sandwich and discovered the lizard inside. She returned to the restaurant for explanations but she only received a meager compensation offer, ”explains Me Frédérick Petipermon by telephone. Or 10% reduction on his next meal, says the daily.
According to McDo, the investigation “did not highlight any non-compliance”
As the story goes The Parisian, this 30-year-old mother was nauseous the next morning and put on antibiotics by her doctor. But she was especially afraid for her child, whom she was breastfeeding.
Me Frédérick Petipermon declares to have seized the general direction of the repression of the frauds, and to have received only a simple “acknowledgment of receipt”. On the side of McDonald’s, an investigation is being carried out, but according to the brand contacted by The Parisian“this did not reveal any non-compliance”.
The victim meanwhile felt, according to his lawyer, enough “anger” to seize justice after all this, so that it checks “if a person placed the lizard voluntarily or if someone who should have checked its absence did not do so”. The complaint was filed last year and the hearing will be held in February 2023 in Pontoise (Val-d’Oise), according to his lawyer.
