Woman finds nose ring in McDonald’s burrito
McDonald’s has been battling to bring back customers in the face of weak consumer spending globally by pushing its value offerings.
A Georgia woman claims she got more than a Happy Meal when she ordered breakfast from a McDonald's restaurant last Wednesday.
KMOV reported Francis Rosario, from Gwinnett County, claims she found a nose ring in her four-year-old daughter's breakfast burrito.
She told media that her daughter was about to bite into her meal when she noticed a shiny nose ring.
"I turned it and I see this piece of jewelry sticking out," Rosario told CBS Atlanta News.
"I'm like, 'What the heck is this?'"
"My concern was that if something happened and she had swallowed it," Rosario said.
Rosario said she has tried to speak to the manager of the fast-food chain at Lawrenceville but has had no luck, and no one has returned her calls.
CBS Atlanta News said it tried numerous times to contact management at McDonald's, but the calls were not returned.
A frustrated Rosario said the incident had left a bad taste in her mouth.
“For now, I'm going to stay back from McDonald’s for a little while,” Rosario told WGCL-TV.
The fast-food chain has made no official comment.
