McDonald's has been found liable after a couple in Florida say their four-year-old daughter was burned by a hot chicken nugget.

A jury returned a split verdict, finding that McDonald's and franchisee Upchurch Foods were liable for failing to provide instructions for the safe handling of hot food. The jury found that Upchurch Foods, but not McDonald's, was negligent.
