A passenger on a Singapore Airlines (SIA) flight to Los Angeles is suing the airline after claiming to have swallowed a jagged wooden splinter from a chicken satay skewer. While on a business class flight from Singapore to Los Angeles, the yoga instructor was served chicken satay on a “sharp wooden skewer”. During the meal, she “unknowingly swallowed a jagged wooden splinter” that had broken off from the skewer. The splinter purportedly became lodged in her throat, causing “severe pain, violent coughing, choking distress, and injury to her vocal structures”.
