According to a recently filed lawsuit, a Taco Bell manager allegedly poured scalding water on two patrons who complained that the restaurant misread their order, sending them to the hospital with severe burns. Plaintiffs Brittany Davis and her niece C.T., a minor, allege in their $1 million lawsuit that they pulled up to a drive-through Taco Bell in Dallas and placed a $31 order, but they didn’t receive what they ordered.
They went around the drive-through twice more to try to fix the problem, but the employee was having none of it. The fast food restaurant was already closed when the pair allegedly parked their car and tried to enter. They could enter after a worker unlocked the door.
Before the manager arrived, carrying a bucket of scalding hot water, one of the employees is said to have challenged C.T. to a fight after the two asked to have their order corrected.

The manager then allegedly splashed both plaintiffs’ chests with the boiling water, according to the lawsuit filed on July 13 by renowned civil rights lawyer Ben Crump. Fortunately, the two were able to get away before they were attacked once more by Taco Bell employees, who laughed and applauded as they drove away, according to the lawsuit.
According to Davis, she sustained severe burns to her stomach and chest in addition to brain damage that led to at least 10 seizures. According to C.T., she suffered burns to her face, chest, legs, arms, and stomach that left scarring and discoloration.
Crump told TMZ, “Not only did Brittany and C.T. Suffer physical trauma because of the burns but they will now live with the psychological trauma that comes with an attack like this. Corporations have a duty to employ quality and stable employees who hold safety as the highest priority.”
