The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that consumers cannot expect boneless chicken wings to be completely free of bones. The decision, which was sharply divided at 4-3 on Thursday, rejected claims by a restaurant patron, Berkheimer, who suffered serious medical complications after getting a bone stuck in his throat. The court stated that 'boneless wings' refers to a cooking style and that diners should be on guard against bones since it is common knowledge that chickens have bones. This ruling has sparked debate about food safety and advertising practices.
