Hot chocolate scalding case settled with Aer Lingus for €70,000

A boy who it was claimed suffered a scald burn to his leg when a hot chocolate drink he had ordered on an Aer Lingus flight spilled on to his lap has settled his High Court action for €70,000.

Jason Yonkeu was 12 years of age at the time of the accident on the Nice-Dublin flight nearly two years ago.
