This is getting interesting.
-- David Milstead was at lunch at the Sonny's restaurant in West Palm Beach when he saw what he thought was salt on his plate.
The Loxahatchee man says he took his finger, dipped it in what he thought was the salt, licked his finger and immediately his mouth started burning. He was taken to Palms West Hospital where he reportedly sustained second degree burns to his tongue, mouth and throat.
It turns out a cleaning product containing hydrochloric acid was put on his plate. The big question though for officials at Sonny's is how did it get there?
"Sonny's is continuing to investigate this matter. The container being shown is not part of the standard cleaning products issued from the Sonny's corporate office. We use an 8-oz packet in our stores, which does not require scoops or spillage," says a corporate spokesperson. "Our understanding is, the manager provided a material safety data sheet with ingredients of the chemical to Mr. Milstead in order to give to the doctor. Sonny's still does not know where this other container came from, but we are still investigating."
David Milstead meanwhile is no stranger to the courts.
He has been involved in 20-lawsuits. Those are just the ones we found in Palm Beach County. He also has a criminal record with several misdemeanors and one felony theft charge.
We were not able to reach David Milstead tonight at his hospital room or his attorney after repeated phone calls.
Any comments?
