Consumers cannot expect boneless chicken wings to actually be free of bones, a divided Ohio Supreme Court ruled Thursday, rejecting claims by a restaurant patron who suffered serious medical complications from getting a bone stuck in his throat.Michael Berkheimer was dining with his wife and friends at a wing joint in Hamilton, Ohio, and had ordered the usual — boneless wings with parmesan garlic sauce — when he felt a bite-size piece of meat go down the wrong way. Three days later, feverish and unable to keep food down, Berkeimer went to the emergency room, where a doctor discovered a long, thin bone that had torn his esophagus and caused an infection.Berkheimer sued the restaurant, Wings on Brookwood, saying the restaurant failed to warn him that so-called “boneless wings” — which are, of course, nuggets of boneless, skinless breast meat — could contain bones. The suit also named the supplier and the farm that produced the chicken, claiming all were negligent.In a 4-3 ruling, the Supreme Court said Thursday that “boneless wings” refers to a cooking style, and that Berkheimer should’ve been on guard against bones since it’s common knowledge that chickens have bones. The high court sided with lower courts that had dismissed Berkheimer’s suit. https://apnews.com/article/boneless-chicken-wings-lawsuit-ohio-supreme-court-231002ea50d8157aeadf093223d539f8
“A diner reading ‘boneless wings’ on a menu would no more believe that the restaurant was warranting the absence of bones in the items than believe that the items were made from chicken wings, just as a person eating ‘chicken fingers’ would know that he had not been served fingers,” Justice Joseph T. Deters wrote for the majority.The dissenting justices called Deters’ reasoning “utter jabberwocky,” and said a jury should’ve been allowed to decide whether the restaurant was negligent in serving Berkheimer a piece of chicken that was advertised as boneless.“The question must be asked: Does anyone really believe that the parents in this country who feed their young children boneless wings or chicken tenders or chicken nuggets or chicken fingers expect bones to be in the chicken? Of course they don’t,” Justice Michael P. Donnelly wrote in dissent. “When they read the word ‘boneless,’ they think that it means ‘without bones,’ as do all sensible people.”
>hey look karen, the menu says no bones. that means i can swallow them whole
>>475755811The ruling is that because the chicken had a bone from an error at processing they can't be sued for false advertisement, that's all

Previously:>the word “wings” does not mean the meat is from a wingNow:>the word “boneless” does not mean its free of bonesSoon:>the word “chicken” does not imply the product is made with chicken
>>475755811Boneless chicken wings are just chicken nuggets
american food is slop
>>475756234I'm not saying you're incorrect, I'm saying the product clearly didn't mean to have a bone in it, it probably got in somehow during processing and separation. They don't make the chicken at the restaurant.
>>475756268What is it made of bugs? Is this going the same direction as milk?
>>475755811Why can't you just buy normal chicken and remove the bones? are you that lazy?
>>475756268Few years from now on, you will be glad to find chicken bone in your "chicken wing", so you will be sure its from an actual chicken and not some insect paste that tastes almost like a chicken.
>>475755811>In a 4-3 ruling, the Supreme Court said Thursday that “boneless wings” refers to a cooking styleKEK what a joke
>>475756477>The suit also named the supplier and the farm that produced the chicken, claiming all were negligent.
>>475757956To be fair it is the Ohio Supreme Court
>>475755811>nigger doesn't chew his food before swallowingOh well. Not my problem.
>>475757675>obese Saudi Arabian calling anyone else lazy
>>475755811>Let's sue the farm for not breeding boneless chickens.Why not sue the chickens?

>>475755811are you retarded?its literal waste pressed in form of nuggets
>>475755811can they at least expect chicken wings to be chicken?
>>475758389as if the shitshow that is Florida has anything to worry about from Ohio
>>475761047
>>475757956I wonder what "style" that is and how it differs from cooking regular wings. Sounds like this case is going to the top. God bless the jews for litigating the things that truly matter!
>>475761867boneless wings with Parmesan garlic sauce
>>475755811BASED
>>475762003Yea but you just open the bag and dump them in the fryer. How is that preparing them "boneless style"?
>>475755811I'm gonna try that argument with rape>Your honor, it was boneless, how could it be rape?>She says you stuck your dick in her>Right, but it was just a little bone, still counts as boneless according to your superiors, shall we ask them?
>>475756355America is an open-air laboratory owned by kikes to study how poisionous food can be before the humans start dying
>>475756113Lmao, this nigga just gulping hunks of chicken without chewing
>>475759940>may contain pork, etc
US food sounds kinda dystopia, american anons, when you come to europe, do you see a noticeable difference? How do you like some cheese? What about those smelly savoury ones, did you try them?
>>475755821Peanut free food allergen safe! (may contain peanuts - peanut free refers to a cooking style, no guarantee of safe consumption is stated or implied)
>>475755811How is this politics you fat fuck?Just cook your food at home
>>475756268>the word “chicken” does not imply the product is made with chickentalmudic law strikes again
>>475755811so when are we going back? I don't think that whole idiocracy thing is sustainable in the long therm
>>475762981I lived in Ireland for a decade and the food quality, specifically meat, produce, and dairy, is all greater in Ireland. For me to get the equivalent milk that was available in Lidl I need to drop like $10 for a carton of USDA Organic grass fed whole milk, otherwise it’s white water. It’s obviously known but the slop here is weapons grade compared to Europe too. I had to cut it all out as it was fucking with me.
>>475756355I don't know what made up meme flag country you're supposed to be representing, but you are correct. Any food that's even slightly processed cannot be trusted. It's amazing how little regard there is for citizen's health and safety just because a corporation gives 50K to lower standards.
>>475762552>Is this cheddar or swiss?>It is cheese flavored ultra pasteurized cheddar food product
>>475755811Chicken bones? Or are other bones allowed?
>>475755811>Chicken nuggets marketed as "boneless wings" contain the same thing as chicken nuggets Wow. So insightful. Maybe you should stop being a child and order normal wings.
>>475755811How long until "chicken" is also a style of dish?
>>475756268>the word “chicken” does not imply the product is made with chickenIt already doesn't. You know chicken nuggets and "boneless wings" are full of fillers, right? It's not 100% chicken.
>>475755821>>475755811You can find bones in ground meat slop all the time, I don't see what the big deal is.Try chewing your fucking food instead of swallowing your tendies whole.
>>475755811If you're out there eating chicken or fish like they're marshmallows, you deserve to get your gullet punctured.
>>475755811Boneless chicken wings are just chicken nuggets. I don't know why someone who wanted wings would instead buy chicken nuggets.
>>475757956>>475761867Actual retards in this thread. Jesus. I bet you think hamburgers are made from ham, too.
>>475755811I've noticed the quality of EVERYTHING has gone down in the last few years. I routinely get bits of hard bone in hamburger, pits in olives, and even little rocks in random produce. I NEVER bite down hard on anything for fear of chipping a tooth.Combined with half the shelves being constantly empty, this is bordering on Soviet tier bullshit.
>>475761047>Florida
>>475755811someone got paid off by big chicken. obviously boneless chicken wings are expected to have no bones. fuck this gay country

>>475755811>restaurant patron who suffered serious medical complications from getting a bone stuck in his throat.How fat do you gotta be to shove food down your throat without chewing it up first?
>>475765280>big chickeni advise you to delete this

>>475766609>big cock
>>475756113lol
>>475762552That's some faggy vegan food. There are like 10 people that would actually eat that
>>475765280"boneless chickenwings" are a euphemism for chicken breast cuts fried like wings.
>>475758389Hmmm..> This is now an Ohio Hate Thread
>>475755811Are Americans scared of animal bones?I like my wings with bones included thanks.I like this bones attached to the whole bird.Why bother with portions when a whole chicken does the job?.
>>475755811Americans dont chew their food, typical
>>475764793I bet those aren't even berries.
>>475756268this. and they'll be like, "you know how people say it tastes like chicken? it's a class of food, it doesn't necessarily mean chicken"
