A woman is suing Dunkin'
after a morning coffee run and spill last year in Delran left her with severe
burns.
Samantha Picklo spent three days recovering in the
Jefferson burn center.
Her attorney claims the lawsuit is the first of its kind in the nation because
its focusing on the coffee cup tray, and not just on the coffee's temperature.
The lawsuit is seeking an unspecified amount of money for what Picklo went
through. She says the mishap led to months of challenges for her.
"I never felt such a
pain in my life," says Picklo.
The case is one of several involving Dunkin’ and
coffee related injuries in the New Jersey.
In the 1990s, a woman sued McDonald's and won nearly $3 million after she was
severely burned by hot coffee.
