after she unknowingly swallowed metal nails and shards hidden inside a serving of ice cream — injuries she says left her unable to have children. On Sept. 11, 2018, Brandy Buckley pulled up to the drive-through window of a Bruster’s Ice Cream shop in Palm Bay and ordered what should have been a routine dessert — a butter pecan ice cream.
Instead, the ice cream was laced with “multiple metal nails and/or metal shards,” according to a bombshell lawsuit that was originally filed in Brevard County state court in 2019.Buckley said she took a bite of the ice cream when her son also asked to get a taste.Man eats at world record 28 Michelin-star NYC restaurants in 24 hours— and it cost him a surprising amount“I noticed there was a metal nail in like, in the cone, almost embedded, it looked like in the cone.”“I thought it was a pecan because it was a butter pecan ice cream that I had purchased.”“Just to be clear, to make sure that’s what it was, a pecan, and it wasn’t,” Buckley said. “It was a nail. So I had swallowed a nail.” The sharp objects were embedded inside the frozen dessert and not visible to the naked eye, leaving Buckley with no warning before taking a bite. Buckley suffered severe and permanent injuries to her head, neck, limbs and nervous system, along with significant scarring and disfigurement.She also sustained a permanent loss of bodily functions and ongoing neurological damage, according to the filing. Buckley and her husband, Patrick, say the injuries robbed them of their ability to grow their family. He alleges the incident deprived them “from having additional children,” according to the complaint. She has racked up massive medical bills for hospitalizations, doctors and ongoing care, while also losing income and future earning potential, the lawsuit claims. The suit targets multiple Bruster’s corporate entities, accusing them of failing to ensure their products were safe for human consumption.According to the complaint, Bruster’s stores use “Certified Ice Cream Makers” to mix and freeze proprietary dairy blends on-site daily — a process the plaintiffs argue broke down catastrophically, allowing a dangerously contaminated product to reach a customer. They initially sought damages exceeding $15,000 — the minimum threshold for filing in the circuit — but a jury ultimately handed down a $14 million judgment in light of the severity and permanence of Buckley’s injuries. An attorney unaffiliated with the case said the $14 million judgment was justified given the severity of the injuries. “I think it could have been more — reproductive cases carry big price tags,” attorney Danny Karon told The Post. “Think about the possibility of never being able to have a family. That’s what she’s is faced with because of the company’s negligence.”Man eats at world record 28 Michelin-star NYC restaurants in 24 hours— and it cost him a surprising amountTiger Woods will be in for a 'dogfight' after DUI arrest— with tough prosecutors looking to make an example out of billionaireCorey Feldman breaks silence on Rob Reiner Oscars tribute snub: ‘We’re all very destroyed’ Kim Novak says Sydney Sweeney is ‘totally wrong’ to play her in upcoming movie: ‘She sticks out so much above the waist’ ‘Love Story’ Ending Explained: Were JFK Jr and Carolyn Bessette Planning Their Divorce When Their Plane Crashed? “I’m So Sorry, Mommy”: Savannah Guthrie’s Teary ‘Today’ Apology To Her Missing Mother Will Break Your Heart Howie Mandel Sparks Tense Moment On ‘Live’ After Finding Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos’ Compliment Backhanded: “Like Saying, ‘You’re Smart For A Stupid Person’” Starbucks’ Hannah Montana Drink Flavor Fail Sends Fans Into Furious Frenzy: “Did We FORGET In The Show She HATES Raspberry”Former Tiger Woods employee blasts golf pro as 'terrible driver,' reveals why he likely refused urine sample after arrest Stream It Or Skip It: 'Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole' On Netflix, Where A Troubled Detective Tracks Down A Serial Killer Who Is Terrorizing Oslo
