CHANDLER, Ariz. (AP) — An Arizona mother of four has received a hand-delivered letter from a lawyer prohibiting her from setting foot in eight Phoenix-area McDonald's and threatening her with criminal trespassing charges if she did.
Chandler resident Erin Carr-Jordan has been on a national crusade to clean up fast-food play areas, claiming the pathogens she found in them threaten children's health. She is also an Arizona State University Instructor.
Carr-Jordan tells The Arizona Republic the incident she believes led to the lawyer's letter happened during one of her repeated visits to a Gilbert McDonald's. Carr-Jordan alleges she discovered antibiotic-resistant Staph or MRSA, known to cause potentially life-threatening infections in the restaurant's PlayPlace.
A McDonald's spokeswoman in Illinois says the company has and will continue to talk with Carr-Jordan in an effort to address her concerns, but added that recent actions by Carr-Jordan have become disruptive to its employees and customers.
I guess I am lucky, when I was little there were no McDonald's, or ANY restaurants of that type. We played in a dirt backyard, actually used to dare each other to eat ..... "dirt." People just have too much time on their hands, and are too educated. Maybe the fries and the burgers should be of more concern, and remember too, it is easier to give the kids a few bucks and send them to McDonald's than it is to cook a fresh, home cooked dinner for them, assuming that Mom can cook, because she was probably brought up on McDonald's too. I remember a McDonald's sign in Elko, Nevada, years ago, Over a Million Served.
