i dont believe it because i think she is just another poor ass trying to make big $$ from suing a company. ppl just want money and they do anything for it.
besides wouldnt the chickens head be discarded in the early stages of the processing?

Chicken Head Update: From the "You Deserve a Beak Today" category, on 28 November 2000, a breaded deep-fried chicken head was found in a box of chicken wings purchased at a McDonald's in Newport News, Virginia. Katherine Ortega says she discovered the McNoggin while divvying up the wings at home for her family of four. (Fried chicken wings were being test-marketed in that area.)
On 30 November 2000, the Ortegas announced they had hired a lawyer and were contemplating a lawsuit against McDonald's. Legal experts don't think the family would win an award much higher than a couple of thousand dollars because no one ate the piece or was physically harmed by it. (Even in our litigious society, harm has to be demonstrated, and it's not enough just to claim "I was grossed out by this" to gain the big bucks. A small award to compensate for the shock of the discovery might not be out of order, though.)
Katherine Ortega has posed for a number of photos of her holding the chicken head, which may work against her if she tries to seek compensatory damages for psychological harm arising out of the incident. A jury will have a difficult time believing she is now nauseated by chicken or has difficulty sleeping after being presented with photographic evidence of her repeatedly and voluntarily handling the offensive item.
Those who have taken the photographs note the fried batter on the item looks to be the same as on the chicken wings. The McNoggin, however, has yet to be examined by experts. John E. Smith, owner of the McDonald's in question and two others, states "My ability to conduct a thorough investigation has been delayed because I have not been given an opportunity to examine the object in question. Although I have made several requests to see this object, the customer refuses to give me that opportunity."
An enforcement officer at the U.S. Department of Agriculture who is looking into the case is at a loss to explain how the head ended up in Ortega's order of wings. The first thing that happens in the processing of live chickens into poultry parts is their beheading, with the heads immediately being discarded. The carcasses then go on to the next stage (which is being dropped into the boiling water to de-feather them). Though the process is mostly mechanized, a plant operator helps with evisceration (the removal of the bird's internal organs) and an on-site USDA inspector is supposed to check each and every chicken. How both could have missed a chicken head going through is a mystery.
At this point, not enough is known to determine if anyone is trying to hoax anyone else, if a poultry plant worker or McDonald's employee thought he'd have himself an innocent bit of fun, or if something went severely wrong with the food processing procedures at the plant and thus a McNoggining could happen again. Further information will be provided as soon as it is available.

If she really tried to sue for $100 000 thats simply just f&cked up even if it is Macca's being sued. $100 000 worth of emotional stress, they should turn her into a nugget stupid bi@tch.
That would be piss funny if I found that in my Nuggets, i might even thank them for it

Bleck. She should get $5,000 tops. I'd say the free 2 weeks meals is more than enough.

Why does everyone seem to be defending Maccas? Maccas can go to hell for all I care and be sued along the way. Corrupt money hungry corporate shits is all they are!

It's a perversion of Law. I agree that maccas should die, but not buy suing it over bullshit claims. It should die by people growing a damned brain and not eating there.

Because if everyone keeps sueing for no reason it increases premiums and lines the pockets of all the money hungry insurance companies, also the pockets of the corrupt, colluding money hungry lawyers.

They would press charge for wronglyfully preparing food...
It seems strange that its "ONLY A CHICKEN HEAD" but yeah if the chicken head got through the inspectors it probably didn't get cleaned either. Some New employee might have just cut a chicken head off and stuck it in the box, i'm sure it would have heaps of deseases, let alone bacteria and infection.
Dunno about you but eating a chicken head isn't exactly like eating a wing, it would be fuckin disgusting..
100k is a bit much but these companies have to pay for mistakes, they are making 100000s of times that a year. Its not like it happens everyday. If it happened to a local store, the news would be on them in a SECOND.. now a company that has a lot more employees and a better process of food preperation (or more experience) should be able to get it right, if they can't, what are we paying them for...
Dunno if anyone knows but yeah from what i've heard KFC put this chemical in the chicken to make you want it more.. Makes me wonder why thats any different from nicotene in cigerettes, (well one kills you and one doesn't hehe) Dunno why they should add stuff, just makes it more difficult for people to resist. After all this talk i feel like KFC to be honest... mmmmm chicken

I think the compensation isn't for her alone remember her two kids who were eating the nuggets. How would your kids react to finding a chicken head in their nuggets?
