Veteran Finds Something Horrific In His Food, Burger King Tells Him THIS... When Army veteran Clark Bartholomew, 46, entered a Burger King in Hawaii in 2010, he could never have predicted what happened next. When Bartholomew bit into his Triple Stacker, he was shocked to find that the burger was laced with needles. According to the lawsuit filed by Bartholomew, the former Army sergeants tongue was pierced by the needle, and he was later hospitalized when the needle became lodged in his small intestine. Of course, he quickly sued Burger King. He has since been placed on medical retirement and relocated to Virginia. He found employment as a U.S. Parks Police dispatcher. Since I was a new employee, I had no time on the books to take time off to fly from Virginia to Hawaii, for the settlement conference, Bartholomew told reporters. However, Burger King claims that the excuse it not good enough, and has requested that the case be thrown out. Theyre also demanding that their lawyers fees be paid. Now, the veterans attorneys are firing back, accusing the chain of bullying a represented opponent for not appearing at a settlement conference. What do you think of the incident? Does Burger King deserve to be sued?
