Philadelphia woman sues Dunkin’ Donuts, claims sugar in her coffee triggered diabetic reaction

PHILADELPHIA — A Philadelphia woman is suing Dunkin’ Donuts, saying a worker mistakenly put sugar in her coffee, which ultimately caused her to go into diabetic shock.

Danielle Jordan’s lawsuit claims she asked for artificial sweetener to be added to her coffee during a June 2009 visit. Jordan claims she downed the drink and experienced dizziness, light-headedness and ended up making an emergency trip to the hospital.

A legal liaison for the Canton, Mass.-based doughnut chain told the Philadelphia Daily News she couldn’t comment on the case. But she says employees only provide customers with the order they ask for.

Jordan’s lawyer, Kenneth Rodgers, says his client couldn’t tell from the taste of the coffee that she got sugar instead of her preferred artificial sweetener. He says she didn’t finish the drink before she fell ill.

The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages.
