A Texas lawsuit filed against Taco Bell claims a Dallas store manager poured scalding water over customers, severely injuring them, after they complained about an incomplete order.

In the suit, filed July 13 in Dallas County's 14th Judicial District Court, customers Brittany Davis and a minor, identified as C.T., claim they suffered permanent skin damage from the June 17 incident in Dallas.

The 19-page suit, filed by well-known civil rights attorney Ben Crump and Attorney Paul Grinke, alleges Taco Bell and employees at the restaurant displayed gross negligence, as well as hiring negligence.

The two Black females were locked in the fast-food restaurant's dining room by the manager after they tried to resolve an issue with their $30 order prepared incorrectly twice in the drive-through, according to a statement from Crump's office sent to USA TODAY.

The pair discussed their order with store employees for almost ten minutes, "wondering why the employees could not simply go back and prepare the food that they had paid for," the lawsuit alleges. "The employees refused to do so and became combative."

The restaurant manager, the suit continues, had not been involved in any of the conversations in the dining room, but came from behind the counter with a scalding bucket of water and poured it onto the woman and the minor.
