Jalapeño Lawsuit Loses Heat

When consumers have food allergies, there is always a risk in dining at a restaurant. About two years ago, on May 8, 2018, a patron of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Sioux City, Iowa received both a poor dining experience and a trip to the hospital. As a result of her less than pleasurable dinner, Rochelle McCoy filed a lawsuit on May 4 in Woodbury County District Court. Since then, the lawsuit has been dropped, but the specifications or terms of a potential settlement have not been disclosed to the public. The culprit that convinced McCoy to take legal action may be described as rich and mild.
