According to court documents, Matthew Mitchell claims he was served cleaning solution, Urnex Urn & Brewer Cleaner, at a Greenwich, Connecticut, Starbucks in late August instead of a hot black coffee.
After ingesting the substance, Mitchell claimed he had a "burning sensation in his mouth, throat and stomach." It was also alleged that he "became incredibly ill and was coughing so incessantly that he had problems breathing."
"Rather than spending the funds necessary to ensure its coffee machines do not serve poison, Starbucks has emphasized corporate greed over the safety of its customers, a clear case of hypocrisy given its stated corporate mission of investing in the well-being of everyone," Mitchell's attorney, Joe Tacopina, told FOX Business in a statement.
