A Texas woman is suing restaurant chain Olive Garden claiming she suffered severe burns from a hot stuffed mushroom that became lodged in her throat.

Danny Howard of Fort Worth, Texas, is seeking $200,000 to $1 million in damages, alleging that Olive Garden was negligent in not warning her that the mushrooms were extremely hot. According to the lawsuit, there was no notification that the "mushrooms were particularly hot or (carried) the risk to cause severe burns."

Howard claims the hot mushroom got lodged in her throat, causing her to choke and stop breathing. Howard ultimately vomited up the mushroom. She later sought medical treatment.
