Ohio Supreme Court Rules 'Boneless' Wings Can Contain Bones
The court's 4-3 decision emphasizes that 'boneless' describes a cooking style, not a guarantee of no bones.
- Michael Berkheimer sued after a bone in a 'boneless' wing caused severe medical issues.
- The majority opinion stated that consumers should expect bones in chicken dishes.
- Dissenting justices argued that the term 'boneless' implies the absence of bones.
- The ruling supports lower courts' decisions that 'boneless' is not a literal promise.
- The decision may have broader implications for food labeling and consumer expectations.
