Dead Rodent Found In Chick-fil-A Sandwich At Bucks County Location, Lawsuit Says

A Bucks County woman is suing Chick-fil-A after she said a dead rodent was baked into the bun of a sandwich she ordered last year at the Langhorne location.

Ellen Manfalouti of Holland filed the lawsuit against Chick-fil-A franchise owner Dave Heffernan and the E Lincoln Highway restaurant in connection with the Nov. 25 incident. The suit seeks more than $50,000 for physical and psychological injuries, Philly.com reported.

Manfalouti, in an interview with Philly.com, said she purchased the sandwich from the drive-through window and brought it back to her office. When she started to eat the sandwich at her office when she felt something "funny" on the bottom of the bun.

Her coworker told the publication when Manfalouti threw it on the table, she saw the whiskers and the tail. A laboratory analysis did in fact show the item in the bun was a rodent, Manfalouti's lawyer reportedly said.

Manfalouti took a photo of the sandwich, which can be seen on the Philly.com report.

Heffernan and Chick-fil-A have declined comment on the allegations.
