Chili's margaritas caused burns after degreasing chemical was added: NC county

Three customers suffered burns from margaritas at a Chili’s Grill and Bar, after the popular cocktails were prepared with a toxic degreasing chemical, according to health department officials in western North Carolina. It happened Wednesday, Oct. 28, at the Chili’s in Forest City, about a 65-mile drive west from uptown Charlotte. The powdered chemical was added after being mistaken for sugar, the Foothills Health District reported in an Oct. 29 news release.

Durham County District Attorney Satana Deberry dropped all charges against Syeisha Johnson, 18, and Elijah Speight, 20, nearly three months after they were arrested in an alleged attempted third-trimester medication abortion.
