US singer sues McDonald's over piece of glass in chicken sandwich

A Brooklyn gospel singer has sued McDonald's alleging her voice has been ruined after she swallowed a piece of glass that was in her chicken sandwich.

Jacqueline Simpson told the New York Post that the glass left her with a "hoarse, rattly voice" and unable to sing soprano like she used to, Radar online reported.

Simpson, who filed the lawsuit in Brooklyn Supreme Court, revealed she ate the sandwich containing the rogue piece of glass at a McDonald's outlet in Manhattan in 2010.

Simpson, who also works as a clerk for the state Attorney General's office, told the Post, that because of the injury her voice now sounds like that of a man and she's to tell people that she's a female whenever she makes calls for works. (ANI)
