A woman who visited a Waffle House in Georgia has filed a lawsuit against the restaurant chain, alleging they served her bleach.
Atavian Moore said she visited a Waffle House restaurant in Lithonia two years ago, and was served a drink with bleach mixed in, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Monday. The drink was contaminated when the drink dispenser was cleaned, Moore said.
Waffle House was served with a lawsuit from Moore, who says drinking the bleach caused her $50,000 in medical expenses.

“Since it is pending litigation we will have no further comment and will respond to the allegations through the legal system,” a Waffle House spokesman told AJC. “The safety of our customers is a responsibility that we take very seriously.”
Moore’s suit says she expects future medical bills after suffering damage to her “esophagus, stomach and other internal areas of her body.”
