The Ohio Supreme Court ruled that a man who nearly died after choking on a bone in his "boneless wings" should have expected bones to be in them. A state legislator is so outraged that he plans to change state law.
There’s a lot of space between a food that’s dangerous to touch, and foods that require effort to eat safely.
A warning that the coffee is hot isn’t enough to meaningfully disclose that the coffee will do severe damage if you touch it, while a disclaimer that boneless wings may contain bone fragments does enough to disclose that there may be bone fragments. Lots of other foods have bones and bone fragments, and are eaten in near perfect safety very frequently. There are no other foods routinely served so hot that they will cause burns, specifically because they are always unsafe.
