A woman is suing the Pizza Hut in Lehighton, Pa., because the hot poppers she ordered as an appetizer were, well, hot and popped when she bit into them.
Sorana Georgescu-Hassanin claims she may be permanently impaired because the ''excessively hot'' oil in the deep-fried, cheese-stuffed hot pepper severely burned her chin.
Her husband, Hatem Hassanin, is suing for the loss of companionship and comfort of his wife.
They are suing Pizza Hut for at least $25,000 each.
The suit names the Dallas corporation and Richard Whitson, who owns the Lehighton franchise and his company, QSM, LLC. It says they failed to warn Sorana Georgescu-Hassanin the appetizers were hot and neglected to drain the oil from them.
Whitson declined to comment, other than to say, ''The incident took place before I owned the store.'' He bought the franchise in April.
Pizza Hut spokeswoman Julie Hildebrand said the company would not comment on pending litigation.
