Paul Kerouac is seeking over $100,000, claiming he suffered “severe and long term injuries” after the explosion of a toilet in the men’s room of a Dunkin’ location in Winter Park.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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.

Osama‘s revenge? Did Osama bin Laden lay a bomb in the toilet at Dunkin’ Donuts?

Sounds as though he had no children, but maybe there were some Kerouacs around from his father’s side. So cousins of a sort? It’s a name I don’t hear frequently.

A local TB got reamed recently when a drive thru customer got video of the manager cutting an employees hair over the sink

I never went there anyway. The place looked nasty 10 years ago

Something similar happened to a co-worker.

The plumbers have worked on the toilets and there was still air in the lines. People continued to use them because, well, when you gotta go, you gotta go.

So he figured he’d flush before using it.

Oooopsss.....

Went into the ladies room at a KFC and it looked like someone dismantled a car engine in there. There was oil and who knows what all over the sink and floor. I told the manager and he just shrugged and went on his business - no, I did not eat there.
