A woman from New York was shocked to discover the Burger King kids’ meal she purchased for her daughter was splattered with blood.
On Friday, Tiffany Floyd drove her 4-year-old through a fast food drive-through and was startled to see their fries and burger were covered in red liquid.
Speaking to the New York Post, Floyd said, “All I heard was, ‘Mom, I don’t want ketchup,’ so I grabbed her bag, thinking that they messed up our order again, and I looked and there was just blood all over her hamburger, all over the wrapper. I looked inside the bag, there’s blood on her toys, everything.”
Floyd immediately contacted the establishment, claiming that Dan, the manager, informed her that a cook had wounded his hand and was bleeding.
“And that he was so sorry, and if I came back, he would refund me,” she added.
Floyd also called her daughter’s paediatrician, who informed her that she would need to wait 30 days for her child’s blood to be examined in order to determine whether or not the child had contracted any disease.
“And then get her blood work done every so often for a year to see if something comes up,” she added.
Floyd said her kid wouldn’t have to get pricked if they simply had the wounded worker go get tested. However, the management had refused to reveal to her the identity of the employee.
Floyd also contacted her local health inspector at the Niagara County Department of Health to file a report, and “he spoke to the same manager, who said, ‘I did have somebody cut their finger, but they didn’t think they were bleeding that bad,'” she recalled.
She then contacted Burger King’s corporate office via its website on Friday and heard back on Saturday afternoon from a representative from the company who said they would pay for her daughter’s medical expenses.
“We did tell Burger King that medical expenses was not enough,” Floyd said.
Floyd told them that her daughter hadn’t had any food since this and she is really anxious that her daughter may require professional assistance.
The company expressed its “deep upset and concern to learn of this incident.”
