California Doctor Sues Thai Restaurant Over Spicy Dish Burns

 

A California neurologist, Harjasleen Walia, is suing a Thai restaurant after claiming she suffered permanent injuries from eating a spicy dish, Dragon Balls, at Coup de Thai in Los Gatos. Walia alleges that despite requesting a milder version, the dish caused severe burns to her throat, nose, and vocal cords due to the intense heat of bird’s eye chili. She is seeking over $35,000 in damages, accusing the restaurant of negligence for not testing the spice level. The restaurant denies responsibility, stating the dish cannot be made less spicy. The trial is set for August 2025.

Sketchy litigation coming from a "physician" who specializes  in the treatment of "headaches".

Not mentioned is that the restaurant specializes in spicy hot dishes and is known for those dishes.

Lawsuit is blaming a worker for adding too many peppers to the dish.  Walia claimed the chicken-based dish "scalded her vocal cords and esophagus with fiery flavors “unfit for human consumption .

 

For reference sake, her medical diploma was awarded at Ross University School of Medicine,  a private, for-profit medical school, in Barbados. Until 2019, the university's main campus was in Portsmouth, Dominica. RUSM is owned by Adtalem Global Education Inc. a for profit business entity.
