A bill currently before the Ohio Senate would effectively reverse the Ohio Supreme Court’s ruling in a headline-making case where a restaurant was held not to be liable for injuring a man who ate a “boneless wing” with a bone in it.

The court held by 4-3 that a reasonable person should expect that a chicken wing could have bones in it, even if advertised as boneless.

Ohio Senator William P. DeMora has brought forward legislation to reverse the ruling, which he described as “ludicrous”, student newspaper The Post reports.

“I don’t understand how four people who are supposed to be educated come up with that kind of decision when 99 per cent of Ohioans who have boneless wings expect to have no bones in it,” he said.

Senate Bill 38 would change the reasonable expectation test in determining liability for injury caused by consumption of food.

Mr DeMora has identified himself as a fan of chain restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings.

“Wednesdays, they have a special all-you-can-eat boneless wings deal, and I don’t expect a bone,” he said.

“Ordinary human beings when you go… on Wednesday night for all-you-can-eat boneless wings, you don’t expect to find a bone because you’re paying more for boneless wings.”
