Mother sues Pizza-Hut over sauce burn
It's been quite a year for Lora Yochim. In January, she made national headlines by giving birth to quadruplets. Last month, Yochim married her sweetheart, Billy Friddle.
And on Friday, she filed a lawsuit against Taco Bell Corp., seeking more than $15,000 in damages. Yochim, a Bradenton, Florida native, said she suffered a second-degree burn after red breadstick sauce spilled on her right leg in March 2002.
She said she had been talking with a lawyer about the incident for several years, and that they had tried to reach a settlement with the company. Yochim, 33, denied the lawsuit had anything to do with her children.
"I don't want people to think I'm doing this just because of my kids," she said. "It has nothing to do with my babies."
In her lawsuit against Taco Bell Corp., it cites they should have warned her the sauce was so hot and that it could fall out of the box container.
Due to the fact this is another stupid fast-food lawsuit where the customer is just a freakin’ moron... I really have no comment about this. I think everyone realizes she's just trying to get easy money. Article here.

I personally know Lora Yochim. I was married to her ex-husband, Larry Yochim Jr., and father of her daughter Ashley. She is an opportunist. This happened a long time ago, yet she waits until she gives birth to quadruplets to file suit? One of the babies died and my heart goes out to her......but why not file this lawsuit when it happened? I will tell you why. She was in the middle of a suit, in which she was seeking attorneys fees. Kind of hard to get if you have a pending lawsuit. go to Sarasota County Clerk of courts and look it up... Also her attorney claims to be this bible thumoing "saved and reformed" person. He was just waiting for a paycheck!!!!!
