Ohio Supreme Court Rules 4-3 That 'Boneless' Chicken Wings Can Contain Bones

Jul 26, 2024, 02:30 AM

The Ohio Supreme Court has ruled in a sharply divided 4-3 decision that consumers cannot expect chicken wings advertised as 'boneless' to be completely free of bones. The ruling, delivered on Thursday, came after a lawsuit by a restaurant patron named Berkheimer who suffered serious medical complications from ingesting a bone. The court stated that 'boneless wings' refers to a cooking style and that it is common knowledge that chickens have bones. This decision has sparked controversy and debate, with some agreeing with the court's interpretation and others arguing that 'boneless' should mean the absence of bones.
