A customer who claims he was injured by an exploding toilet at a Dunkin' store in central Florida has filed a negligence lawsuit against the coffee chain.

A customer has filed a negligence lawsuit against Dunkin’, claiming he was injured by an exploding toilet at one of the coffee chain’s locations in central Florida.

Paul Kerouac is seeking more than $100,000 in a lawsuit filed Wednesday in state court in Orlando, claiming he suffered “severe and long term injuries” following the explosion of a toilet in the men’s room of a Dunkin’ location in Winter Park, Florida, a year ago.

After the explosion left Kerouac covered in human feces, urine and debris, he walked out of the men’s room seeking help from workers and the store’s manager, according to the lawsuit. An employee told him that they were aware of the “problem with the toilet” since there had been previous incidents, the lawsuit says, without diving into further details about the explosion.

    Just $100K? If that had happened to me, Dublin would be paying me in the millions just for the settlement amount.

      I don’t understand what Ireland has to do with this

        Dunkin’ is headquartered in Massachusetts and is VERY popular in that state. Dunkin’s massive popularity in Massachusetts is arguably the reason Dunkin’ is a successful company.

        Massachusetts has the largest population of Irish immigrants in the United States. Irish Americans were therefore critical to growing Dunkin’. Without the Irish, Dunkin wouldn’t exist, and this incident would not have occurred.

        Dublin is the capital of Ireland, and that is where the Irish president sits. That’s the obvious best place to ask for compensation from the nation.
