Guess the mechanical "deboner" wasn't firing on all cylinders that day.

The word chicken, not different than fish implies that there might be bone or bone like hard things inside. That is common knowledge. Should you find a bone in a McFish? Which I have on a rare occasion, not really a big deal. Is it possible to really always remove all the possible bones from a fish or chicken? Not always. Does McDonalds or any other restaurant really need to warn you that you might find a bone in the chicken? Nope.

Well, I guess they had to warn you that the hot coffee is really hot. But that case dealt more with how hot as opposed to just hot.

Complain that it's not really chicken. Get proof that it actually is chicken. Complain again. :p

You should send it to a Lab for positive identification.

After all, since it's common knowledge that chicken nuggets are anything *but* chicken that piece of bone could be a former employee...

Hey, the hot coffee case actually had justification. McDonalds served their coffee like 20 degrees above industry standard, hot enough to cause 2nd and 3rd degree burns in a matter of seconds all over the persons body before she could get it off.

They had already received citations for serving their coffee too hot and being a burn risk, but they ignored it.

For our 6th grade project we wrote to the companies about issues like this and one of the kids did come across your specific problem. I guess it's not all that rare.

Their grilled/crispy chicken sandwiches do not contain the same product as their McNuggets. It actually looks, feels, and tastes like real chicken. I don't know if it is or not and frankly I do not care!

it's all about reasonable expectations. since bones are natural to meat products most courts will toss cases where a such a substance is found in the food; also the OP (even though he was being factitious about litigating) has not listed any damages so a suit would be useless.

I have made a successful claim against a large processor regarding a similar situation but the details were quite different.

If it is a real chicken bone, I would actually be happy, knowing that what I am eating just might be real.

The DQP with cheese fries and a coke is like 1400 calories alone. I don't think the 99c mcchicken appetizer is really necessary.
