![The Ohio Supreme Court ruled "boneless" wings label refers to cooking style, not absence of bones, after man sues over injury.](https://san.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Boneless-wings-can-have-bones-CLEAN-GETTY.jpg?w=1920)
[KARAH RUCKER]
ACCORDING TO THE OHIO STATE SUPREME COURT,
CUSTOMERS WHO ORDER BONELESS WINGS SHOULD **NOT EXPECT THEM TO BE BONELESS.
THIS WHOLE DEBATE STEMS FROM A CASE BROUGHT ON BY A MAN WHO SAYS HE DEVELOPED MEDICAL PROBLEMS AFTER A TINY BONE FRAGMENT BECAME LODGED IN HIS THROAT, AFTER HE ATE BONELESS WINGS AT A RESTAURANT IN 2016.
HE SUED THE RESTAURANT FOR NEGLIGENCE AND BREACH OF WARRANTY.
BUT THE OHIO JUSTICES RULED THAT BONELESS WINGS **ACTUALLY REFERS TO THE “COOKING STYLE” —
AND IN ITS RULING — SAY IT’S “COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT CHICKENS HAVE BONES.”
