Customers cannot expect chicken wings marketed as “boneless” to be guaranteed bone-free, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled Thursday in a case filed by a man who suffered medical issues after a bone got stuck in his throat.

Michael Berkheimer filed the lawsuit after suffering “serious medical problems” from getting a chicken bone stuck in his throat while eating a boneless wing served by a restaurant.
