Airline Facing Massive Lawsuit After Passenger Alleges She Was Left With ‘Disfiguring Burns’

/1 Comment/in , /by

A JetBlue customer from Connecticut is suing the airline for negligence after claiming she was left with “extreme burns” from hot tea she claims was spilled on her during a turbulent flight.

According to a lawsuit filed in a Connecticut District Court, Tahjana Lewis alleged her flight on JetBlue May 15 from Orlando, Florida, to Hartford, Connecticut, left her with severe burns on her chest and lap.

Lewis said that when a passenger seated in the row in front of her requested a cup of hot tea, the contents spilled onto her as it was being served by a flight attendant.

The lawsuit alleges a JetBlue flight attendant served “unreasonably and dangerously hot” tea and heated the water to be “scalding hot and capable of causing disfiguring burns.”

Lewis said she had “severe burns” to her upper chest, breasts, legs, left buttocks and right arm. (Read more from “Airline Facing Massive Lawsuit After Passenger Alleges She Was Left With ‘Disfiguring Burns'” HERE)

A Jewish JetBlue passenger accused the airline of “blatant antisemitism” after it canceled his flight because he objected to a flight attendant wearing a “Free Palestine” pin during his trip to Las Vegas.

Paul Faust, a 54-year-old telecom entrepreneur from Parkland, Fla., had flown on April 28 from South Florida to Sin City, where he was met by a JetBlue official after getting off the plane, he said in a video about the incident, first reported by DailyMail.com.

Faust, a father of two, said the JetBlue official accused him of “causing a disturbance” during the flight and called the Las Vegas police department.

JetBlue said it has launched an investigation into the incident.

“We are taking this matter very seriously and conducting a full investigation into our crew members’ actions,” a representative for the airline told The Post on Monday.
