A Pearl resident claims a McDonald's restaurant in Brandon placed a mouse in a milkshake consumed by her daughter and cousin. 24-year old Christene James told JJ her 17 year-old cousin bought a caramel frappe at McDonald's Sunday night. She said her cousin and one year-old daughter took turns drinking the frappe. She said they consumed two-thirds of it before discovering the mouse. A message seeking comment was left at the McJoy (franchise owner) office in Ridgeland with a secretary.
Ms. James said they took the rodent and the container to a Mississippi Health Department office in Brandon. She said they discussed the incident with three employees. They said one employee said they would send someone to investigate but couldn't do anything about this particular incident as the um, evidence was removed from the premises. They said they took the cup and contents to the restaurant and discussed the case with two managers. They said the managers showed them the frappe machine and said there was non way the mouse could have gotten into the cup. They said the tube used to dispense the drink was too small to allow an object of such size to pass through the machine. The managers allegedly told her "It wasn't us" and said they did not know how it happened.
Ms. James posted two statements on Facebook:
So pissed. McDonalds in Brandon and every other McDonalds for that fact will NEVER receive my business. The health of my daughter and cousin were put at risk because of the uncleanliness and inattentive nature of the employees that serve at that restaurant. No one should EVER find a mouse in any form of food.
UPDATE: We went to the Health Department/Department of Environmental Health and they said since she left the establishment with the product, there is nothing that they can do but they will investigate the restaurant immediately. They both have doctors appointments scheduled for today and an attorney has been notified of this.

She found the mouse the next morning after it sat out all night. Sounds like they have mice at home.
I hated this when I was an ER doc. When they see a lawyer before seeing a doctor you know it's a scam.
And what, pray tell, are they "testing" for? Did they take the kid to a vet, who might know something about mouse diseases?
and 6:01 is right - they need an exterminator, although they seem to dumb to have realized that. or they're just too greedy ("She claimed she found the lawyer as the contents fell into the sink.")
Can you name and shame their lawyer? Enquiring minds wants to know :-)
Reminds me of the time my wife woke up after dreaming she was downing a specific British Banger.
They need to trap the mice in their house instead of trapping McD's with a frivolous lawsuit.
Because you know it's coming.
I once tried to make a mouse trap to drown mice but I failed. I am just gonna get me one of these cups and leave it half full.
That is a mouse from they house!
McDonalds got to pay anyway.
Well, I am sure a couple of million dollars will make them feel a lot better about this horrific nightmare and they might even to come to respect the mouse!
McDonalds should hire a PI to trap some mice around their home and do a little genetic testing. Bet it's a spot on match. I can't believe these idiots would try to make this claim after leaving the drink out overnight. Everyone knows a mouse can squeeze through a pinhole. If these bozo's were were smart they would patent a new mousetrap because that McDonalds cup with the opening at the top did a great job!
The damn mouse got into the cup overnight. What idiots.
So when you sipped through the straw, you didn't notice nothing could get thru the straw?
Um....didn't use a straw.
Ok. So when you tipped the cup sideways to drink, a big old furry piece of crap didn't slide down the side of the cup and smack you in the face?
Um...well,....uh..
I hate stupid lawsuits.
Wee sleekit cowerin' timorous mousie,
Thank ye for bein' in our housie!
We'll claim ye from McDonald's came,
And ye shall garner legal fame!
And we, thy hosts for little while,
A suit shall file and make a pile
O'cash! A million! Maybe more
From that auld evil burger store!
And people wonder why insurance is so expensive. The insurance company has the duty to defend, and basically hire a lawyer to tell these people they are idiots or just pay and settle out of court.
Our McDonald Plantiff should be so lucky:Stavros finds foreign beauties in their Bikinis, while sipping his Frappe.
From the Urban Dictionary
(Snip)
Frappe Frappe is a kind of coffee that is made when you stir instant coffee(in granules) together with a small amount of water in a shaker. Add cold water, ice cubes sugar and milk for a proper "greek island" experience.Because stirring produces foam, make sure you use a tall glass and a straw.Enjoy
Stavros was sipping his frappe at the beach cafe while he was checking out the foreign beauties in their bikinis.
