A JetBlue passenger is suing the airline alleging she suffered severe injuries including a fractured tooth after being served a “frozen solid” ice cream sandwich.
Kiara Quinonez claims that she underwent “pain, suffering, and mental anguish” after being served the strawberry shortcake ice cream sandwich on her Aug. 20 flight from New York to France, according to a lawsuit filed in New York earlier this month.
The lawsuit claims that the frozen dessert, made by Nightingale Ice Cream, caused her to “sustain severe bodily injuries, including a root fracture” of one of her teeth.
