A former child pop star says an incident involving a chicken satay meal led to lasting harm and is suing an airline. According to reports, she alleges she swallowed a wooden skewer and that the splintered material damaged her vocal cords. The plaintiff, now described as a yoga instructor, claims she develops persistent symptoms after the incident, including throat discomfort, vocal fatigue, raspiness, tightness, and pain when speaking or singing for extended periods. One account also states she had returned to performing on stage for the first time in about a decade only weeks before the alleged incident. The airline disputes details of the claim in the accounts provided, but the coverage focuses on the medical impact described by the singer and the basis for her lawsuit. The legal action centers on whether the airline and/or meal service conditions contributed to the swallowing of the wooden skewer and whether that event caused the reported vocal cord injuries and ongoing difficulties.
