Paper to pay for exploding churros


Paper to pay for exploding churros, A newspaper must pay damages to 13 people who were injured by exploding churros , the Supreme Court in Chile says. The court ruled that the newspaper failed to test the recipe thoroughly.
Chile's Supreme Court has ordered a daily newspaper to pay $125,000 to 13 people who suffered burns while trying out a published recipe for churros, a popular Latin American snack of dough fried in hot oil.

The publisher of La Tercera must pay individual damages ranging from as little as $279 to $48,000 for one woman whose burns were particularly severe.

The high court's ruling was announced Monday, seven years after the readers burned themselves while trying out the recipe. Judges determined that the newspaper failed to fully test it before publication, and that if readers followed the recipe exactly, the churros had a good chance of exploding.
