A jury in Omaha, Nebraska, ruled in favour of Keith Andrew, a police officer in the small town of Sidney in the west of the state.The court heard that his two sons, then aged four and seven, became sick from the food they ate at a franchise of the Kentucky Fried Chicken/Taco Bell chain in October 2005.The younger boy became violently ill with gastroenteritis and dehydration, vomited for hours and was forced to spend time in a hospital, the family's lawsuit said.
The lawsuit named the restaurant's owner, Mid Plains Food and Lodging, which the jury found negligent.Andy Snyder, the family's lawyer, said of the company: "I'd advise them to get a better class of employees."The lawsuit claimed that workers who saw a fellow employee taint the family's food reported it to management, but the managers did not inform the diners.
The suit also alleged that Mr Andrew, his wife and their children were victims of an employee scheme that targeted police officers."Employees maintained 'special servings' of food reserved for ... officers," the lawsuit said. "The 'special servings' had been urinated in or spit in by KFC/Taco Bell employees."
