ORLANDO, Fla. – A bizarre incident at a Dunkin’ location in central Florida has led to a negligence lawsuit filed by a customer who claims he was injured by an exploding toilet.
Paul Kerouac is seeking more than $100,000 in damages after suffering “severe and long-term injuries” from the explosion of a toilet in the men’s room of a Dunkin’ location in Winter Park, Florida.
According to the lawsuit, after the explosion, Kerouac was left covered in human feces, urine, and debris. He sought help from workers and the store’s manager, who allegedly admitted that they were aware of the “problem with the toilet” due to previous incidents.
When contacted for more details on Kerouac’s injuries, his attorney, Scott Spradley, said he was tied up and couldn’t answer the questions until the following day. Dunkin’ has not yet responded to the lawsuit.
The lawsuit states that Kerouac has suffered “bodily injury” and has required mental health care and counseling since the incident in January 2022.
This unusual incident has raised concerns about the safety and maintenance standards at Dunkin’ locations, and has left many customers shocked and concerned about the potential risks of using the facilities.
Agree: Exploding toilets? Lawsuits like these are necessary to protect customers and hold businesses accountable for their negligence.
