Lawyer says child left with scars, as parents seek damages for medical expenses, loss of income and ‘enjoyment in life’
A family is suing a US ski resort claiming the hot chocolate it sold them scarred their five-year-old daughter.
The lawsuit in California says that when Brittany Burns and Joshua Moran Burns took a mid-morning break from skiing with their child, they stopped for a drink at a cafe at Heavenly Mountain Resort.
The suit alleges that after spraying whipped cream on top of the beverage, the server slid the drink “directly to the minor” without a lid.
When the child tried to drink it, the “excessively and unnecessarily hot” liquid spilled inside her ski suit, scalding her chest and abdomen.
