ORLANDO, Fla. — A customer has filed a negligence lawsuit against Dunkin’, claiming he was injured by an exploding toilet at one of the coffee chain’s locations in central Florida.
Paul Kerouac is seeking more than $100,000 in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in state court in Orlando, claiming he suffered “severe and long term injuries” following the explosion of a toilet in the men’s room of a Dunkin’ location in Winter Park, Florida, a year ago.
After the explosion left Kerouac covered in human feces, urine and debris, he walked out of the men’s room seeking help from workers and the store’s manager, according to the lawsuit. An employee told him that they were aware of the “problem with the toilet” since there had been previous incidents, the lawsuit says, without diving into further details about the explosion.
When contacted Thursday by email for more details on Kerouac’s injuries, his attorney, Scott Spradley, said he was tied up and couldn’t answer the questions until the following day. The Canton, Massachusetts-based company did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
The lawsuit says Kerouac suffered “bodily injury,” and he has required mental health care and counseling since the incident in January 2022.
Supposedly happened to Frank Zappa as well when his home’s toilet exploded while smoking a cigarette..............
without diving into further details about the explosion.
What a crappy story.
I hate when that happens.
Somebody flushed an M80 down an adjacent toilet that tied into the same drainage line.
A personal injury complaint in my county court 20 years ago concerned injuries when a woman in a dress stepped outside a community center for a smoke. She stood over a grate when “... the sewer erupted ...”
I laughed when I read this.
Nasty and funny at the same time.
When I was in junior high school that was the big thing for the guys to do; looking back I’m pretty certain that the school had a plumber on retainer because it happened fairly often.
He’s not suing them for enough….. a couple million, at least
********
Hell he should get free tacos for the remainder of his life
as part of the settlement.

It could have been worse...supposing it had been a pay toilet?
