Woman awarded $517,000 after eating contaminated hot chips, reduced from $1.12 million.

A Bunbury woman, Karis Louise Pringle, initially awarded $1.12 million after eating contaminated hot chips with caustic soda in 2013, now receives less than half of that amount. Pringle suffered burns and developed PTSD, impacting her ability to work. The original payout was reduced to below $517,000 following an appeal by the fast food company, which argued against the extent of the predicted loss of earnings.
