An Australian judge has ordered KFC to pay 8
million Australian dollars ($8.3 million) to the family of a Sydney girl left
brain damaged after eating one of the fast food giant’s chicken wraps.
Monika
Samaan’s family sued KFC, claiming the then-7-year-old girl contracted
salmonella poisoning from a KFC chicken wrap in 2005. Samaan was in a coma for
months and left with brain damage.
New
South Wales Supreme Court Justice Stephen Rothman ruled last week that KFC was
responsible for the food poisoning. On Friday, he ordered KFC to pay AU$8
million damages plus legal costs.
KFC
denied responsibility and said it would appeal.
Samaan’s
lawyer, George Vlahakis, said the family was relieved the court battle was
over, but is upset about KFC’s plans to appeal.
