A US soldier in Hawaii says he got something dangerous with his burger, fries and soda when he ordered a Burger King value meal.
Army Staff Sgt. Clark Bartholomew claims he was injured by needles when he bit into a Triple Stacker on December 1 from a Burger King located on Schofield Barracks, a sprawling Army base in central Oahu.
According to a lawsuit filed in US District Court in Honolulu this week, Bartholomew took the meal home and while eating the hamburger, he bit into the needle that pierced his tongue and made him bleed.
He was hospitalised and put on bed rest for six days after another needle was found lodged in his small intestine.
The lawsuit said Bartholomew suffered "severe physical injury, including injuries to his stomach, rectum and tongue" because of Burger King's negligence.
He also suffered "anxiety, fear, loss of sleep, extreme distress and lost wages."
