An Ontario woman and her family are seeking $500,000 after she says she was severely burned by a searing hot cup of tea from Canadian caffeine giant Tim Hortons.
Jackie Lansing, 73, tells Global News she was taking her sister to a medical appointment last May when they decided to stop at one of the restaurant’s Huntsville, Ont., locations.
She says she ordered a medium tea with milk. Once she received her order, she says she placed it in the cupholder and pulled out of the drive-thru and into the parking lot. “On top of the cup it said B Tea, which means black tea.
So I knew the order was wrong. So I went to lift the cup up to check it, and the cup completely collapsed on itself,” she recounted.
