A passenger has taken legal action against Frontier Airlines following an incident where hot tea reportedly caused severe burns to his genitals. Sean Miller, from Pennsylvania, claims he sustained third-degree burns after being served tea without a lid during a flight on September 20, 2024. According to court documents cited by The Independent, the beverage was "unsafely and unreasonably high temperature" and lacked any form of cover.
Miller was traveling from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to Philadelphia when the incident occurred. After landing, he was immediately taken to a hospital and then transferred to a burn center for specialized care. His attorney, Adam S. Barrist, described how Miller "was unable to get up from his seat after the spill," leading him to endure significant pain as the scalding liquid burned him.
Barrist further stated that since the accident, Miller "has been encountering sexual dysfunction." Miller is seeking $150,000 in damages for pain and suffering along with financial losses resulting from this incident.
