A Dallas Cowboys coach, his wife and the family's nanny have sued a McDonald's owner, alleging they found a dead rat in a salad purchased at a Southlake restaurant.
MICHAEL AINSWORTH / DMN The lawsuit by Cowboys passing-game coordinator Todd Haley (left), shown earlier this season with players Drew Bledsoe and Terrell Owens, alleges his wife and family baby sitter found a rat in their McDonald's salad. The lawsuit, which seeks $1.7 million in damages, was filed Thursday in state district court on behalf of Cowboys passing-game coordinator Todd Haley, his wife, Christine Haley, and the family's live-in baby sitter, Kathryn Kelley.
"We tried to work this out," said Scott Casterline, a spokesman for the Haley family.
"We were forced to file a lawsuit. It's a tragic situation for any family to go through.
"Something has to be done to prevent this from ever happening again and to help these ladies to get over this."
Ken Lobato, owner-operator of the McDonald's, said he hadn't seen the litigation so he couldn't respond to the allegation.
"Nothing is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our customers," he said. "We maintain the strictest quality standards. We take these matters seriously and are conducting a full investigation to get all the facts.
"In my years as an owner-operator, I've never seen anything like this," Mr. Lobato said.

See a copy of the lawsuit (.pdf) According to the lawsuit, Mrs. Haley and Ms. Kelley purchased a salad on June 5 at the drive-through of the McDonald's at 2155 W. Southlake Blvd.
They took the salad home, where both women ate part of it before a dead rodent - thought to be a juvenile roof rat - was uncovered.
The women called the Southlake McDonald's, and a manager came to the house to examine the salad.
The manager asked to take the salad and rat, but the women declined, the lawsuit says.
The women became severely ill and endured long-lasting physical injuries, the lawsuit says. Mrs. Haley, who was nursing, had to feed her baby formula.
"She got violently ill; she couldn't perform her duties as a mother," Mr. Casterline said of Mrs. Haley.
Both women say they suffered severe mental and physical pain and that their dining habits have been altered, the lawsuit says

Uhhhhh . . . I doubt if the motive for sharing the salad was so that the nanny and wife could both sue. Portions of food served at all restaurants tends to be huge. I haven't set foot in a McDonald's in many years, so can't comment on the portions of the food served there. However, I suspect the salad in question was probably too large for one person. Granted, McDonald's food is cheap, so the two ladies could have each purchased their own salad I'm sure. But, why waste food unnecessarily? If the salad is big enough, share it. -Dave

Yeah, it doesn't look good that the rat wasn't found until long after they got home. On the other hand, the salad was probably sitting somewhere at McD's for several hours. And it's easy to believe that a McD's salad could kill a rat. -Dave

This is what REALLY happened. The wife and the nanny were planning on running away together but knew they wouldn't have the money needed to start a new life. So they plotted to sue McDonalds by throwing in a rat...and keeping the Mr. from knowing their plans until after they win the lawsuit. Yeah....that's it. And what's up with a nursing mother who is obviously wealthy enough to have a NANNY buying salad at McDonalds?? Ewww!!! Forget the rat...think of everything else that entails.

This story reminds me of that one from maybe a year ago. The severed human finger in the meal from Wendy's.
