The public nuisance lawsuits, one in California and one in Illinois, alleged that McDonald's failed to protect its restaurant workers from COVID-19. The suits, one of which alleged workers had to wear doggie diapers and coffee filters as masks, both resulted in preliminary injunctions against the fast-food chain.

McDonald’s Corp. has settled some of the first public nuisance lawsuits in the nation brought by workers over COVID-19 protections.
One of the lawsuits, brought on May 19, 2020, alleged that McDonald’s failed to provide adequate COVID-19 protections for workers at four restaurants in Chicago. The case prompted a judge to issue a preliminary injunction against McDonald’s, a ruling cited by lawyers suing other companies, such as meat processor Smithfield Foods, over COVID-19 protections.
