A Winnipeg woman severely burned from she alleges was "boiling hot" Tim Hortons tea is suing the multinational coffee company.
Norma Rogan, 66, has filed the lawsuit after a visit to one of its Winnipeg restaurants nearly two years ago led to trips to the doctor's office, according to a statement of claim filed April 17 in the Manitoba Court of King's Bench.
Rogan, who is suing for general and special damages, bought two extra-large teas and two extra-large coffees from the Tim's on Main Street on May 8, 2022, the lawsuit says.
An employee served her those drinks in a cardboard tray, but when she was walking back to her vehicle, the tray collapsed, causing "boiling hot liquid from the teas to scald [her] right arm," according to the claim.
The lawsuit says Rogan suffered severe burns, chronic pain and restrictions in her day-to-day movement. She also has a permanent scar on her arm.
