IndiaA Popeyes restaurant in Houston, Texas, is being sued for $1.5 million by two customers who claimed they found a 'condom-like' foreign object inside a piece of fried chicken. The lawsuit, filed in August 2026, alleges that the couple experienced physical illness and emotional distress after discovering the object during their meal. They claim the restaurant failed to uphold proper sanitation and food safety standards, leading to the presence of the object in the food. The plaintiffs also state that restaurant staff reportedly dismissed their concerns and attempted to resolve the issue by replacing the chicken rather than thoroughly investigating the complaint. The lawsuit includes allegations of negligence, breach of implied warranties, and violations of consumer protection laws.
