According to Yahoo! Entertainment, the unidentified customer has filed a lawsuit against the restaurant after allegedly getting such a bad case of foodborne illness that she spent three days in intensive care and two additional days at the hospital before she was allowed to make her return flight home. The lawsuit claims that the woman and her family visited SUR on August 19, 2017, and that she hadn't eaten anything else before she ordered "white fish covered with an orange cream sauce" at the restaurant.Within an hour of eating her entree—and while she and her family were still sitting at the table—she allegedly developed one seriously graphic case of food poisoning. "[Her] head suddenly whipped back, causing her body to move backwards as well, as she felt a hot sensation rise from her stomach, into her chest and then into her throat that she was unable to control," the lawsuit states. "Her head came forward while vomit filled her mouth, and [she] began vomiting profusely."
Then… things got worse. After falling to the floor, the lawsuit alleges, "[she] was unable to stop vomiting or defecating as she kneeled on the floor, causing [her] clothing to soil." She claims that the SUR staff did not attempt to help her, but they did throw water on and around her as she lay on the floor. She was eventually loaded into an ambulance and transported to the emergency room at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
