Jetblue passenger sues for $172k over frozen dessert injury
The reason a tourist sued JetBlue Airways seems absurd. It turns out that during the flight, the woman was served an overly ice cream sandwich. The tourist is demanding a large compensation.

According to foreign media, a passenger traveling with JetBlue from New York to Paris filed a lawsuit against the airline. She claimed that the airline committed serious negligence because "of the dangerously cold temperature and solid state of the ice cream sandwich she was served."
She ate the ice cream sandwich and it all began
"The Independent" accessed the lawsuit's content. According to the woman they quoted, the airline worsened the situation "by not warning of the dangerously low temperature of the strawberry ice cream sandwich that she was served."
"The ice cream sandwich that Defendant served to Plaintiff was frozen solid and caused Plaintiff to sustain severe bodily injuries, including a root fracture of tooth number 10," reads the complaint.
From the woman's account, it follows that a quick surgical intervention and implant placement were necessary, and upon returning to the United States, additional medical procedures were required. However, the passenger claims that she is still struggling with "pain, suffering, and mental anguish" resulting from the unfortunate incident.
Huge money
The woman's lawsuit filing is a pretext to demand compensation from the airline. The amount she is seeking is staggering—as much as $172,000. According to the injured party's lawyers, compensation is due under the provisions of the Montreal Convention. So far, the airline has not addressed the issue.
