Report: Pregnant woman served cleaning fluid in her McDonald's latte
A pregnant Canadian woman was reportedly served cleaning fluid when she ordered a McDonald's latte.
reports Sarah Douglas took a swig from her cup at a McDonald바카라 게임 웹사이트™s in Lethbridge, Alberta, expecting to taste her coffee drink. Instead, there was an immediate "burning" sensation.
바카라 게임 웹사이트œMy tongue felt fuzzy and my mouth felt almost numb," she recalled.
When Douglas told workers, they discovered that the machine pumping out lattes was still attached to cleaning solution instead of milk.
"I showed [a supervisor] the coffee and he had asked if I wanted a new one, and I said, 'absolutely not, this is unacceptable.' I said 'I need to speak to someone higher up' and he said he was the only supervisor on at the time, and he gave me his manager's phone number," Douglas told
Douglas took a picture of the cleaning solution label so she could inform poison control. The cleaning agent reportedly contains citric acid, phosphoric acid, methy-trimethyl-3, and 2-butoxyethanol.
"Poison control just said they wanted to monitor my symptoms, and that if I was to develop shortness of breath or breathing difficulties or swallowing difficulties, to make sure that I went to the hospital," she said.
She has not yet experienced any symptoms but plans to see her doctor as soon as possible.
Douglas said she hopes sharing her story will keep the incident from happening again.
"As a mother, I want to make sure I have a voice and that I'm being heard in terms of the safety of consumers, and how negligence can affect people in such a drastic way," she said.
