Florida woman needed surgery after waiter poured liquid nitrogen in her drink, lawsuit claims

A Tampa woman went to dinner for her birthday last year with one of her best friends at a hotel in St. Pete Beach, Florida. Instead of celebrating, she says she nearly died.

Wagers and her friend had just finished dinner at the Maritana Grille, on the premises of the Don CeSar Hotel, on Nov. 11, 2018, when the women saw their waiter pour a liquid on a nearby table's dessert that made it"smoke." Wagers' friend told the waiter the smoke effect looked cool, and the waiter then poured the liquid nitrogen into the women's glasses of water.

Because of the liquid nitrogen, Wagers had to have surgery to remove her gall bladder. Parts of her stomach were also removed where tissue had been burned by the extremely cold temperature of the chemical. Wagers has lost over 25 pounds from the incident and will have lifelong digestion issues, according to her attorney, Adam Brum.

I need people to read articles before they comment.

Note: This occurred on November 11th of LAST YEAR....

It doesn’t sound like it was malicious. Dumb, but not mean spirited.

Why didn't it explode as it does when it hits air?

HEALTHY PEOPLE ARE BEING POISONED, I BELIEVE. SINCERELY MS. GARY

Perhaps think before you drink? I mean liquid nitrogen, smoking drink, that should give a person a clue they may want to exercise sound judgment. Be a responsible adult and ask for another drink.

wow cold

Oh my god, how did this even happen?

Waiter should be charged with attempted murder.

AwardsDarwin almost had another one. Not paying in attention in science 101 is deadly.

Thats(INSANE) HA!

Thankfully, I grew up on enough Bill Nye the Science Guy and Beekman’s World to know that drinking liquid nitrogen would be a bad idea.

Aaaah, Florida the land of entertainment lol

Stop pushing this story. You can’t fix stupid.

I don't understand why common sense didn't kick in. Also, math hurts.

Not just a funny joke

some of y’all should read the article before commenting 🤦🏾‍♀️ Liquid nitrogen is a colorless, odorless form of nitrogen that exists as a liquid at temperatures around -320 degrees Fahrenheit. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned that liquid nitrogen can be extremely

Who drinks anything without knowing what it is?

How she not know she was drinking liquid nitrogen

😳

Was it iced tea?

So why did he do it and what happened to him?

WTF?!

Florida, say no more.

Thought she was a terminator

I suppose she would also complain if someone gave her a free $800 buck’s - what a society

Dangerous substances should be kept away from stupid people.

I have to try this. -320 should have frozen the drink...

🤣🤣

Wouldn't the liquid nitrogen evaporate just after entering in contact with the 'hot' drink ?

was it a negligent act?

KatiePhang Apparently they did this routinely. 😕

Education fails everyone in Florida.

Well I hope he at least put a cherry on top.

Damn that's cold...

That’s not how liquid nitrogen works.

More clickbait. Woman agreed to drink it thinking it was safe because it was put in her desert. It was an accident

Florida at it again.

Florida? Enough said

I see it used on cooking shows all the time - almost always the pourer wears gloves! That’s the first sign of its dangers. To the BS callers - in ICU for days - if not injured no hospital would have admitted her.

Liquid nitrogen turns to a gas at room temperature and comes out of the drink .... BS

Cha-Ching!!

It’s pretty common

Clearly that lady is an idiot.

Darwin.

Ummmm hahaha what!?

Perhaps the hotel should instruct their employees better when they are walking around dumping potentially hazardous materials on patrons' plates

i think we are too trusting of restaurants and the service industry. we don't know what we are ingesting most of the time

Quote, 'Of course I didn’t think it was dangerous at all,' Wagers said. 'He had just poured it on a dessert.'

That waiter needs to be put down. No excuse for that obviously.
