A New York mother was horrified to discover the Burger King kids’ meal she ordered for her daughter was splattered with blood. Tiffany Floyd took her 4-year-old to the fast food drive-through in Getzville, NY. After leaving as they were eating, her daughter said, “Mom, I don’t want ketchup.” Mrs. Floyd looked and saw blood all over her daughter’s hamburger, all over the wrapper, inside the bag, and blood on the toys. She instantly told her to spit out the food. She had eaten some fries and a bit of her hamburger. And then Mrs. Floyd looked and there was blood on her own meal, too. Floyd immediately called the Burger King where the manager, Dan, informed her that a cook had cut his hand and he was bleeding, and that he was so sorry, and if she came back, he would refund her. (* Which really sounds more than fair.) She also called her daughter’s pediatrician, who said she would have to wait 30 days to get her daughter’s blood tested to see if she contracted any disease. And then she should get her blood work done every so often for a year to see if something comes up. Mrs. Floyd said the manager wouldn’t tell her who the injured employee was. “If they just make him go and get tested, my daughter would not have to get pricked,” she said.
