Tennessee man served dangerous chemical awarded millions, but Cracker Barrel to pay less

MARION COUNTY, Tenn. (WTVC) — A jury in Marion County, Tennessee, ordered the Cracker Barrel restaurant chain to pay a man millions of dollars after he was served chemicals in his drink. But, he's only receiving a quarter of that amount due to a cap Tennessee has on economic damages.

The jury ruled the company was at fault when William Cronnon was served a glass of Eco-San sanitizer instead of water.

The case started in 2014 at a Cracker Barrel in Marion County.

Court documents say the chemical was used to clean the kitchen and was kept in unmarked pitchers.
