A Texas woman filed for $1 million in damages from a Chinese buffet after she allegedly suffered a terrifying bout of “fried rice syndrome.”
Germaine Mobley, 62, said went to Asian King Buffet in Waxahachie for a lunch in 2016 that left her gravely ill in an intensive care unit, the Dallas News reported.
Mobley claimed in the lawsuit that she was sickened by Bacillus cereus, also known as “fried rice syndrome,” a type of bacteria often found in foods kept at room temperature.
Not sure why this is here, doing a quick Google, it appears that "fried rice syndrome" is a valid condition, whether that's the case here isn't known, but not our place to judge without more facts.
1 million? Bacillus cereus is usually not a dangerous infection that will put a patient into an ICU... seems to me the patient has serious health issues that led to her medical problems rather than eating fried rice...
IF she was the only one who got sick I don't see how she has a case, it could have been from something else.
