Man in a pickle over Burger King
A US man is suing Burger King for £65,000 failing to remove the pickles from a burger he bought two years ago.
Dairus Dugger is seeking damages after alleging the restaurant, in James City County, Virginia, failed to heed his "specific request for the omission of onions, pickles and tomatoes".
He says he suffered a "severe allergic reaction" after taking a bite from the sandwich before realising it still had pickles tomatoes and onions in it.
The allergic reaction kept him off work and resulted in large medical bills, the Virginian-Pilot newspaper reports.
Mr Dugger says Burger King's error was "tantamount to negligence", and he is seeking $100,000 in damages, plus legal fees and court costs.
