  • Wednesday, January 12, 2022

A jury in Marion County has awarded a man $4,330,000 after he was served a glass of cleaning chemicals instead of water.

William Cronnon initially asked $150,000 in damages after the incident in 2014.

However, the jury came back with $3.6 million in non-economic damages and $730,000 in economic damages.

Mr. Cronnon said the chemical Eco-San burned his mouth and esophagus and he still feels the after-effects. Cracker Barrel at the time was using Eco-San to clean its kitchen.

Cracker Barrel is deciding whether to appeal.
