A jury has awarded $1 million to the family of a boy who sustained severe burns from hot tea spilled on him in an Orlando restaurant.
Nathan Quach, 6, was with his family at Lam’s Garden Restaurant in Orlando in February 2012 when family members claimed a waitress placed a teapot with very hot tea on a table. The tea spilled, and Quach suffered second- and third-degree burns on his chest, hands, groin and legs. Plaintiff’s counsel offered testimony claiming a lazy Susan holding the teapot was unstable and slippery, and there were other tea burns at the restaurant.
