The family of a deceased American Airlines passenger is suing the airline, claiming that the man died from food poisoning he got from his in-flight meal.
CNN is among several outlets to pick up the story. It reports:
The wife and daughter of the late Othon Cortes of Miami are suing the airline and Sky Chefs for more than $1 million, alleging he ate food contaminated with bacteria during a flight from Barcelona, Spain, to New York.
The incident happened on May 18 after Cortes consumed an in-flight meal that allegedly contained chicken, according to a lawsuit filed last week in the U.S. District Court in Miami.
According to the New York-based International Business Times (IBT), the lawsuit claims Othon Cortes' chicken meal was contaminated with the potentially deadly bacteria Clostridium perfingens.
