Overview

• Demery Ardell Wilson filed a lawsuit in Texas’ 269th Judicial District Court, alleging Whataburger served him onions despite his explicit request to exclude them.
• Wilson claims the presence of onions caused an allergic reaction that required medical attention and constituted negligence and a manufacturing defect.
• The lawsuit, filed on April 25, 2025, seeks monetary relief between $250,000 and $1 million, including damages, penalties, and other costs.
• Whataburger formally denied the allegations on May 16, 2025, demanding strict proof of Wilson’s claims and asserting no knowledge of any product defects.
• Wilson previously filed a similar lawsuit against Sonic Drive-In in 2024, which was dismissed for lack of evidence.
