Texas couple sues Popeyes for $1.5M over foreign object in chicken
Justin Howard and Danielle McKinnon filed a $1.5 million lawsuit against Popeyes and its parent company, Restaurant Brands International, after allegedly finding a condom-like object in fried chicken at a Houston location. The plaintiffs claim the incident caused nausea and fear of contamination, while Popeyes maintains internal video suggests the object was a glove. The suit alleges negligence and violations of Texas consumer protection laws, with local activists having previously demanded an investigation.
