Man Settles With Burger King Over Used Condom In Whopper

Old school Consumerist readers may remember the 2007 story of the
Vermont man who sued Burger King after claiming he found a used condom
in his Whopper. Three years later, a lawyer for the man has announced
that the matter has been settled out of court.

The case was supposed to head into jury selection next month, but the
Rutland Herald in Vermont reports that on Oct. 6, lawyers for both
sides told the court they had reached a settlement and asked for the
case to be dismissed.

Details of the settlement are sealed.

In the original suit, the plaintiff said he had ordered a Southwestern
Whopper from a Burger King in Fair Haven, VT, and when he returned
home to eat his food with his family, he discovered the discarded
condom. He says that when he complained to the manager, the matter was
laughed off.

At the time, both BK and the company that owns that particular
franchise issued denials of any wrongdoing.

Suit dropped. The owner-operator of the Rutland restaurant says forensic
analysis of the object and surveillance video prove it didn't originate in
the Burger King.
